 Friend -- In the early days of the pandemic, every evening we’d hear folks clapping from the streets, from their stoops, from balconies and windows to thank frontline health care workers. We’ve come a long way from daily clapping. Today, with 100 million Americans fully vaccinated and everyone aged 16 or over eligible for the vaccine, health care workers are continuing to serve on the very front lines of this pandemic. We should be thanking them every day, while continuing work to get the direct relief and assistance they need to care for their families and their patients.
My Democratic colleagues and I didn’t waste a minute before working to provide material support to health care workers, like hazard pay and improvements to transit services, and we haven’t stopped. The biggest stimulus bill in U.S. history has already put checks in people’s pockets and invested in the vaccination programs where they’re needed most. But health care workers like nurses have borne some of the worst of the pandemic, and we must continue to do more to support them. Can you add your name to say “thank you” to nurses and other frontline health care workers? Working in Washington, I know that gratitude is short-lived. But it’s important for all of us to continue to show nurses and other frontline health care workers that we are still advocating, fighting, and working for them -- and that we’ll never forget how much we owe to them. Thanks, Chuck Schumer |
