STEP 4 – SEND LETTERS ABOUT OTHER ISSUES
Many things have become evident through this pandemic, and it is clear that things need to change. Send letters to your government leaders: President Trump, Senators, Representatives, Governors, and Mayors. United We Stamp will have prewritten letters on many issues that are directly affected by this pandemic, and require positive action.

Some issues are silver linings, like how air pollution has been reduced due to stay at home orders. Air pollution is a direct cause of asthma, lung disease, and heart disease, which are major comorbidities that can lead to death from COVID-19. It is urgent that we tell our government reps that we must continue this trend toward cleaner air.

Others issues aren't new, but have been exacerbated by the pandemic, like food insecurity. Poor nutrition and lack of access to healthy food are old problems, but ones that we must now confront head on. The pandemic has exposed our food supply system, from outbreaks at meat packing plants, to shortages at grocery stores. Heart disease and Diabetes are comorbidities connected to many of the deaths from COVID-19, and a lack of access to healthy food is a direct cause of these diseases. We must convince our government reps to address this serious issue now.
