[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

Today was my turn to get my second COVID vaccination. Just like the first,
it couldn't have been easier. It was nothing, nearly painless, and I know
that I did the right thing for our kids, elders, and communities.

Whenever it's your turn, I urge you to take the vaccine, too. I shared the
experience of getting my first vaccine with folks on my social media — if
you missed it the first time around, you can watch it here:

Truth be told, getting the vaccine wasn't something I was looking forward
to. I was nervous — because when it comes to health care, America has a
history of medical exploitation of Black and brown people, and those
actions still impact our communities today.

For example, with COVID-19, Black people are more likely to catch the
virus. According to the CDC, Black and Latino Americans are dying of
COVID-19 at three times the rate of white people and being hospitalized at
a rate four times higher.

Our communities are impacted by redlining, poor health care, underfunded
schools, lack of green spaces, food insecurity, and more. That's why I
constantly emphasize how important it is that we immediately and
explicitly reconcile our country's history of racism.

[ [link removed] ]As we rebuild our country, I'll continue to put out bold, progressive
legislation that forces us to confront our country's racist history and
present. But I can't do that without your support. Can you please chip in
$3 or anything you can to fuel this fight?

Peace and love, everyone. Stay safe, and let's defeat this virus!

— Jamaal Bowman
