John,

This week, a total of 400 million n95 masks will now be available for pick up at thousands of local pharmacies and health centers around the country.

While this is a great first step by President Biden, a one-time action to make them available will not ensure that everyone has access to the high-quality, protective masks they need to keep themselves and others safe for the weeks to come. 

Each day, more and more people contract coronavirus and experience its effects, making our hospitals increasingly likely to be overcrowded and dangerous. 

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.

By manufacturing and distributing high-quality masks for ALL through the Defense Production Act, we can ensure that everyone will have access to the masks they need, not just now, but even months from now when the current supply is fully used.

 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.

- Molly
