John,

Today the Biden administration announced that they would be making 400 million N95 masks available to all Americans.

While this action is a great first step, as the United States reports a record number of new cases, we must push the government to manufacture and distribute three high-quality N95 masks to every single person in this country at no cost.

In fact, a simple and inexpensive way to protect Americans during this wave of the coronavirus pandemic is to pass the Masks for All Act, a bill introduced by Bernie Sanders that would truly give everyone the protection they need.

As we work our way through the third year of a COVID-19 world, it has never been more important for the Biden administration and Congress to go bold and make sure everyone has enough high-quality masks to protect themselves and others.

Please add your name to our petition telling Congress and President Biden to pass the Masks for All Act and provide three high-quality masks to every person in America.

Under the Masks for All Act, every person in the United States – including individuals who are experiencing homelessness or living in congregate settings such as prisons, shelters, college dorms, and assisted living facilities – would receive a package of three N95 respirator masks, free of charge.

Individuals would be able to pick up additional masks at convenient community locations that are already providing essential services, such as post offices, pharmacies, schools, public transportation stations, and COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites.

The bill will also provide needed N95 respirators to all workers in health settings, including administrative, janitorial, food services, and other critically important workers.

Additionally, the Masks for All Act would:

• Appropriate $5 billion for domestic manufacturing, procurement, and N-95 respirator distribution
• Require the federal government to procure masks at a reasonable price
• Deliver masks to households via the U.S. Postal Service
• Manufacture and deliver masks in a variety of sizes, including for children, to ensure proper fit
• Package masks with information on the importance of wearing and proper use of masks
• Require weekly progress reports to Congress on use of funds and actions undertaken to eliminate mask shortages

Demand Congress and President Biden pass the Mask for All Act and use their power to distribute N95 masks to all Americans.

Thank you for everything you do.
