Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

While the nation is at war against coronavirus, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are our front line, and it is incumbent upon all of us to protect them, now more than ever. Ensuring they have adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to safeguarding public health and ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical professionals.

In light of a string of recent firings and adverse employment actions, this project aims to highlight the legal rights of medical professionals and the importance of them being able to speak out about PPE supply and other matters of public concern involving coronavirus.

Are you facing unsafe conditions at your workplace? Have you been silenced, terminated, or otherwise disciplined for speaking out? Do you need to talk to someone? Please fill out this form and someone from our team will be in touch to better understand your situation.

Join a coalition of doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and non-profit organizations to demand fair and safe treatment with respect to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by signing our letter here.
