The situation across the country is deteriorating: Hospitals are preparing for equipment shortages, 48 states are in a “state of emergency,” and residents of the Bay Area—where WomenCount is based—have been told to “shelter in place.”

The President and his administration are only starting to comprehend the magnitude of what we’re facing, and take action, but it might be too late.

We know many in our community and around the country are hurting right now—physically and financially—so if you can, give to your local food bank, your local community fund, or other local groups that provide basic services.

But if you have a few dollars left over, and you want to support elected officials who are doing good right now and who are working to prepare us for the future, chip in $5 to each woman on our Coronavirus Experts slate.
