Act now! Demand protections for nurses
and other frontline health professionals:
Protect Healthcare Professionals! Make Calls For
The COVID-19 Health Care Worker Protection Act
We must act immediately to contain the spread of the Novel Coronavirus. Our nurses and other healthcare professionals aren’t getting the safety equipment they need to stay healthy as they deal with this emergency.
Contact your Senators via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.
== Here is a script and talking points ==
Hi, my name is (your name), and I’m a constituent from (your state). Thank you for passing previous legislation to address the pandemic. Now, we need the Senate to go further.
I’m calling to ask (your Senator) to insist that the next COVID-19 omnibus bill contain full protections for frontline health workers, patients, and the public during this crisis, as is necessary to contain this pandemic:
- The next COVID-2019 legislation must include a mandate for OSHA to issue and enforce emergency temporary standards to protect health care workers.
- The legislation must appropriate at least $10 billion specifically to deliver effective respirators (like N95s) to nurses and other frontline healthcare professionals.
Thank you.

Can’t make the call but still want to help our healthcare campaigns? Contact us and we’ll keep you as busy as you’d like to be.
Can’t volunteer? Then pitch in what you can to help finance our ongoing campaign for the Green New Deal, including Medicare For All—the policies we need to effectively respond to the pandemic, to promote economic recovery, and to upgrade our healthcare system.
Medicare For All (MFA) is a vital component of the comprehensive Green New Deal agenda. To ensure our immediate and long-term survival, we need the Green New Deal—policies to create millions of new highly-paid sustainable jobs, to build critically-needed infrastructure, to eliminate household debt, and to enhance our social safety net. We must also suspend ICE raids and detention.
P.S.: Please remember to RSVP to Mike Fox to join our Healthcare Emergency Virtual Town Hall / Webinar TODAY, Sunday 4/5, 4-5pm ET, 1-2pm PT. Mike will provide all the call-in information. Then, join PDA investing to elect Medicare For All progressive candidates.
