Tell the White House: Fully Activate the Defense Production Act

There are nurses in New York City wearing garbage bags because they don’t have protective gear. We’ve got park attendants in Michigan forced to clean bathrooms without the proper equipment. Corrections officers, child care providers and others are exposed, too.

The relief bill that AFSCME fought for and Congress passed in recent days will help fill some of the gaps. But so much more help is still needed, and President Trump has the power to ease the suffering. The Defense Production Act empowers the president to direct businesses to accelerate the manufacturing of N95 masks, respirators, ventilators, gloves and other personal protective equipment.

Send a letter to the White House, and tell the president to honor your work in public service by getting you the equipment you need.
