Love our Healthcare Workers

My college roommate is a doctor in New York City. She runs a lab and is currently working from home and homeschooling her two boys, but she anticipates being called into the hospital soon to help patients sick with COVID-19. The thought of her - and all of the healthcare workers preparing to charge into the dragon's lair - ignites a fire in me to thank them and help them in any way available. Doctors are working without pay so that they can pay their staff, personnel are trying to prepare to help without adequate supplies - we need to do whatever we can for them.

I'm working with several friends to "start a movement" of showing gratitude to our healthcare workers by posting our #loveourhealthcareworkers thank you sign. You can see our graphic and text in the photo above. Here's a link to our artwork   We want all health care workers to see multiple thank yous as they drive to and from work.  Here's the invitation we've drafted to date:

Let's unite in showing our support for the brave doctors, nurses, and all healthcare workers who will be our front line to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Our Italian friends sang from their windows and we can do it without leaving our homes.  Create a sign or banner from materials you have on hand and then post it in your yard, on your door, or in a car or home window.  Do it today.  Keep it simple or be creative; let healthcare workers know we support them and are grateful. 

Let these signs be a visible daily reminder that even as we maintain physical distance from one another, we are connected and in this fight together. Let's take care of the most vulnerable and look out for one another. When we come out on the other side, we will build a better future for our children based on our common humanity.

Please share widely, and please consider posting a photo of your sign or poster.  Or if you prefer, please feel free to download and print out this sign (#link).
