21-year New Haven Sunday Vigil Paused Until Further Notice Due to Covid-19
Ponder this: in a crisis of this magnitude, there aren’t close to enough ventilators and
other medical supplies including personal protective equipment to go around. The federal
government and the hospitals are talking about rationing health care. As always, the
elderly, poor, disabled and otherwise vulnerable are the ones whose lives will be
sacrificed first.
Yet the military manufacturers remain open, grinding away at the production of weapons
of mass destruction.
If this disturbs you, do something about it. Among other things, let your senators and
representatives know that they will not be re-elected unless they act now to ensure
production and distribution of all necessary equipment to save everyone’s life that
can be saved.
The government must act immediately:
- USE THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT TO MOBILIZE AMERICAN
MANUFACTURERS TO SWITCH TO MAKING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.
2. USE THE DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY TO HELP COORDINATE
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF THESE SUPPLIES AND A MASS ROLL-OUT
OF COVID-19 TESTING.
PLEASE, SPEAK OUT NOW. Call: U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy: (860) 549-8463;
Sen. Richard Blumenthal: (800) 334-5341; U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro: (203) 562-3718

ALL OUR LIVES DEPEND ON THIS.

THE COMMUNITY.
Stay strong. We hope to see you soon.
