Hi friend,
Pahokee, a city just a few miles away from Mar-a-lago, recently had a vaccination event for their residents -- ⅓ of whom live under the poverty line and have greatly struggled finding access to COVID vaccines.
The problem? Almost every person who drove through Pahokee's vaccination distribution center ended up being predominantly white Flordians who had traveled from wealthier areas around Trump's new home -- meaning the at-risk Pahokee residents were left STILL vaccine-less.
This isn't an isolated incident. We're hearing reports that around the country, at-risk communities and communities of color are being largely ignored when it comes to planning vaccine roll outs. This has to stop now.
While we're ecstatic that almost 20% of our population has already been vaccinated, we're worried about the at-risk individuals who won't have access to a vaccine supply for a long time -- especially when they have the most to lose. We're hoping you'll join us in sending a clear and urgent message to our representatives: fight for more supplies for those who can't. Will you add your voice to ours? Tell us:
Should accessibility to vaccines be increased?
Thank you so much for doing your part as we work to get ourselves out of this crisis.
