We are encouraged by the Biden administration’s initial actions and science-based plan to address the #COVID crisis, but recognize that ALL OF US must act to bring the virus under control and prevent more needless deaths. int.nyt.com/data/documentt… 
Science clearly shows that masking up and social distancing are essential to bringing the virus under control. Requiring masks on all federal property is a good step, but EVERYBODY should be wearing a mask in public, no matter where they are. act.ucsusa.org/39dmrNt
To contain the virus, we need a rapid & equitable rollout of vaccines. We are encouraged by the federal leadership & coordination announced by the Biden admin, & recognize individuals, communities, & states still have to do our part to ensure as many people are vaccinated asap.
A pandemic is a global challenge. Any long-term solution must be global as well. We are heartened by the Biden administration’s pledge to remain a member of the World Health Organization and support the response required to address the pandemic worldwide. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The pandemic shouldn’t cost people their homes. Extending an eviction moratorium to March 31 is a good start by the Biden administration but more action and relief are needed. The impacts of the pandemic will clearly continue past March. forbes.com/advisor/person…
More action is needed. Families and communities need support to fight the pandemic. Congress must pass additional funding to support testing and vaccination—and economic relief to ensure people stay fed and housed during this crisis.
