They need to hear from us that we can hold the complexities of the economy and the life and death health decisions that we have to make in regards to physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tell Southern governors to not prioritize profits over people. We need to work and we need to live without putting our families in danger of contracting this virus. We demand: An immediate recension of the reopening of our states and reinstatement of shelter-in-place orders Safety plans for each state before they reopen that includes resources for PPEs for workers Realtime COVID-19 data disaggregated by county and race Increased public health model testing, tracing, and treatment, with specific usupport to communities that are low-income and communities of color The immediate expansion of Medicaid in each of our states Enhanced unemployment support for residents that have lost jobs or cannot work Please sign and share widely!
