ADD YOUR NAME: Demand COVID Vaccines for Undocumented Workers

This week, the Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees signed into action a statewide emergency public health advisory requiring proof of state residency for anyone receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
A few weeks ago, the Nebraska governor said undocumented immigrants will be “at the back of line” to receive the COVID vaccine - even if they work in front line and essential jobs. This is unacceptable!
The virus doesn’t discriminate and neither should states in their distribution of the vaccine. Doing so is not only immoral, but bad public health policy, as many undocumented workers are front line or essentiall workers who at most risk of virus exposure. Putting undocumented immigrants at the back of the line will directly endanger the health of many and certainly lead to more deaths.Our states depend on the essential labor of our immigrant community, but refuse to prioritize our health and wellbeing. We will not accept this!
Add your name now if you think everyone should have access to the COVID vaccine, no matter their status.
