*[Enwl-eng] Urgent: Coronavirus in Italy

[ENWL]

                        Doctors in Italy are sending emotional appeals to 
the world -- their hospitals have turned into war zones in the fight against 
coronavirus.

                        We urgently need to slow the spread of the disease 
and fight for free treatment and vaccines for all.

                        Can you chip in $1 to fight coronavirus and help 
protect those most vulnerable?

            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:

              a.. Push governments to offer free testing even for uninsured 
people, and demand pharmaceutical companies develop free vaccines and 
treatment;
              b.. Target gig-economy employers to ensure sick leave and paid 
time off for all;
              c.. 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.


            Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card.

            Please, can you chip in $1 to help the most vulnerable fight 
against coronavirus?

            Please stay healthy and let's beat this together!


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Anne and the team at SumOfUs
