See the sentence below about Goldman Sachs talking about how much money would be saved for the economy if people
wear masks. Pat

Subject: Wear a mask!
Governors and mayors are afraid of the anti-mask scaremongering campaign, ginned up by billionaires to make it seem like there are huge numbers of people who want to be cannon fodder to protect billionaires' portfolios. There aren't.
Tell State & Local Governments:
"Masks are essential to re-opening local economies while preventing the spread
of COVID-19. Employers must keep their workers and customers safe, and
require masks!"

Patricia,
Masks save lives. It’s that simple.
But instead of taking actions for public health, Donald Trump wants another culture
war. So Republicans turned mask-wearing into a partisan issue.
50,000 Americans were newly diagnosed with COVID yesterday―a new
record. We need science, not more culture wars.
The resurgence of COVID in America came a few weeks after Memorial Day,
when Americans relaxed their quarantines and went out to party without masks.
With more COVID hot spots than ever in the country, the 4th of July could be
magnitudes worse.
The virus isn’t going away on its own. We need state and local governments
to take the lead and mandate masks!
North Carolina, California, Nevada, Rhode Island, New York, Delaware,
Connecticut, New Mexico, Illinois and Washington state all have mask mandates
already. And cities like Columbus, OH, Phoenix, AZ, and Jacksonville, FL have
taken action in defiance of their state governments.
But governors and mayors are afraid of the anti-mask scaremongering
campaign, ginned up by billionaires to make it seem like there are huge
numbers of people who want to be cannon fodder to protect billionaires'
portfolios. There aren't.
Even Goldman Sachs is in favor of a Mask mandate.
Personally, I’m into mask wearing because it saves lives. But whatever gets you
there, Goldman.
SIGN NOW: We need masks!
Thanks,
