Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) is working with coalition partners advocating for immediate, emergency policies to help contain the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’re focusing on keeping healthcare professionals and the general public safe, as well as providing all necessary help for the people hurt by the pandemic and resulting economic hardship. We invite you to join us for a Healthcare Emergency virtual town hall / webinar Wednesday, April 1, 4-5pm ET, 1-2pm PT.

Dr. Bill Honigman and guest speakers will address your concerns and answer your questions about the Novel Coronavirus pandemic. The access codes, phone numbers, etc. have changed. Click Here to contact Mike Fox to RSVP and get call-in information.

 

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:

  1. The next COVID-2019 legislation must include a mandate for OSHA to issue and enforce emergency temporary standards to protect health care workers.
  2. 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 Mike Fox and he’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 emergency COVID-19 response and Medicare For All—the policies we need to effectively cope with the pandemic, promote economic recovery, and 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. We’re also organizing for policies to eliminate household debt and to enhance our social safety net.

 

P.S.: Please remember to RSVP to Mike Fox to join our Healthcare Emergency Virtual Town Hall / Webinar Wednesday, 4/1 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.
