Hello, my name is….I am a resident of X state. I am (disabled/higher-weight/a person with X condition). I am at high risk for COVID and I need to get vaccinated. Seniors, disabled people, and higher-weight people have died of COVID in the greatest numbers — especially those who are also Black, Latinx, and indigenous. People of all ages who are at high risk must have access to vaccines right away. We know you can help make this happen. Please act now.

Hello, my name is….I am a resident of X state. I am an ally/friend of people who are disabled/higher-weight/older. I’m contacting you because vaccine policy needs to make sure they get vaccinated for COVID. Seniors, disabled people, and higher-weight people have died of COVID in the greatest numbers — especially those who are also Black, Latinx, and indigenous. People of all ages who are at high risk must have access to vaccines right away. We know you can help make this happen. Please act now.
