John,
The COVID pandemic has cost America trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives. It didn’t have to be this bad―but our lack of investment in pandemic preparedness let COVID spread out of control.
President Joe Biden called for a $30 billion investment in pandemic preparedness in his American Jobs Plan. But that number could be slashed to just $5 billion in the Senate.
We need your voices NOW to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.
Call BOTH of your Senators at 202-224-3121 and insist that we fully fund pandemic preparedness! Here’s a script you can use:
Hello, I am a constituent of the Senator, and I’m calling to insist that we fully fund pandemic preparedness. $30 billion investment to protect Americans from future pandemics. This pales in comparison to the cost of responding to the next pandemic. I urge the Senator to fully fund pandemic preparedness to save lives, businesses and our economy.
COVID hit seniors and people with disabilities the hardest, and the next pandemic likely will as well. That’s why it’s so important to invest in prevention.
Thanks,
Alex Lawson Social Security Works
