Protect the South: Sign The Petition Today! #HealthOverProfit

Hey BVM Family, Today, along with our partners Highlander Research & Education Center, Southern Rural Black Women's Initiative and Southern Movement Assembly, we held our [Virtual Press Conference]( demanding that Southern Governors take action to ensure the health and safety of all before reopening. Governors across the South need to hear from us that we can address the complexities of the economy without ignoring the life and death health decisions that we have to make in regards to physical distancing. 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 support 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 Sign and share the petition. #ItsAboutUs #HealthOverProfit [Sign The Petition]( [facebook.com/BlackVotersMtr/]( [twitter.com/BlackVotersMtr]( [( This email was sent to {EMAIL} [why did I get this?]( [unsubscribe from this list]( [update subscription preferences]( Black Voters Matter Fund · 3645 Marketplace Blvd Ste 130-209 · East Point, GA 30344-5747 · USA
