Nurses and doctors in Italy are forced to decide who will
live and who will die. Ventilators have become like gold --
and there simply aren’t enough for everyone who needs one.
This worst-case scenario could happen everywhere
-- unless we slow the spread of the disease.
The virus will advance without mercy if we let
corporations get away with trying to make a quick buck out
of this crisis. From refusing to pay sick leave to putting
up prices on critical supplies -- corporations have run wild.
And we are paying the price.
Can you chip in $1 so we can go to battle for free testing and
treatment, sick leave for gig and part-time workers, and an end to
price gouging on critical supplies?

Yes,
I'll chip in $1 to fight corporations trying to make a quick buck
from the coronavirus.
Tens of thousands of SumOfUs members have come together to demand
that gig workers get paid sick leave -- and your pressure is
working: Uber, Lyft, Hermes, and now Amazon have announced
they’re offering sick pay to drivers who’ve been diagnosed with
coronavirus or placed into quarantine.
But too many companies and restaurants are still forcing
employees to make tough choices: come to work when you’re
sick or get fired.
We know what we need to do:
- Push governments to offer free testing even for
uninsured people, and demand pharmaceutical companies
develop free vaccines and treatment;
- Target gig-economy employers to ensure sick leave and
paid time off for all;
- Stopping price-gouging for critical supplies
like hand sanitizer and medical masks on websites like eBay and
Amazon.
A new virus like this tests our humanity like nothing else. In
these moments of crisis we need to come together and take care of
the most vulnerable.
Nobody should have to choose between their basic costs of living
and the health of their family or community. We’re going to work so
that no one has to. If you chip in today, we’ll get straight to
it.

Please,
can you chip in $1 to help the most vulnerable fight against
coronavirus?
Please stay healthy and let's beat this together!
