Tell your Senators: Everyone should be able to vote safely

Protecting our air, water, climate, and communities is inextricably linked to protecting our democracy. Unless all voters are able to safely participate in elections, we won’t be able to solve the many urgent challenges facing our country.

Right now, the Senate has a chance to fully fund safe elections, by passing the HEROES Act — ensuring that ALL voters can protect themselves from coronavirus by casting their ballots by mail in the November general election.

At the same time, Senate Republicans just introduced a hugely inadequate so-called “relief” bill that falls far short of providing urgently needed aid to the people and industries most impacted by coronavirus — and includes no funding for safe elections.

Please send your senators a message and tell them to support the HEROES Act — before it’s too late!

Rush an urgent message to your senators and tell them to fully fund safe elections this fall, and protect us from coronavirus at the polls, by passing the HEROES Act.

Protect our democracy and our health by supporting the HEROES Act!

Dear Senator:

As your constituent, I urge you to protect our communities, our health, and our democracy by supporting the HEROES Act over the hugely inadequate Senate proposal -- and passing it without delay.

This critically important bill would provide vitally needed funding for safe election measures, like ensuring that all voters can protect themselves from coronavirus by casting their ballots by mail in the November general election.

It would also provide urgent relief to the hard-working Americans who have lost their paychecks and health insurance due to the pandemic; to small businesses that are struggling to make it through the crisis; and to state and local governments that are being forced to consider layoffs that could put public health and safety at risk. It also ensures that folks in dire straits won't lose access to water or power utilities, and it'll provide urgently-needed safety protections for essential workers.

The latest Senate proposal hardly begins to address these vital needs, nor does it provide any funding to help ensure safe elections. The choice between public health and a functioning democracy is no choice at all. Please, defend both by supporting the HEROES Act, and urging your colleagues to do the same.

Thank you.
