To the Heroes on the Frontlines of COVID-19: We Are With You!

As we continue to adjust to life in the time of a global pandemic like COVID-19, there are many among us who are on the frontlines of this fight -- putting their lives on the line every day to protect ours.

Now more than ever, health care workers and support staff at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and more need to know we are grateful for their sacrifices and that we will do our part to help stop this devastating pandemic however we can.

The HRC community commends these heroes among us and want to remind them that we are by their side as they fight for our lives. Add your name to our letter and send your thanks and support.

To our Heroes on the Frontlines,

In the early days of the AIDS epidemic, many of you were among our only allies -- LGBTQ and allied doctors, nurses, researchers and others who took care of us when no one else would. Over the years, more and more of you have come to provide essential affirming care for transgender people. You've worked with LGBTQ youth in crisis and with older LGBTQ communities in transition. As we note each year in HRC Foundation’s Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), facilities across the country are becoming more inclusive to LGBTQ folks … and that’s certainly because of the work you do.

Today, you're on the frontlines of this epidemic. You're the support staff in the hospitals. You're the first responders and home health care workers. You're health care providers wearing homemade masks. Many of you aren't even making it home each night, and for those who are, you're isolating yourself in other rooms, not able to hug your spouses or kids. You're putting your lives on the line for all of us.

We're taking this pledge to do everything we can to bring an end to COVID-19. We'll stay at home. We'll wash our hands. We'll social distance. And we'll encourage others to do the same.

You’ve been there for us, and now we want you to know that the LGBTQ community is with you. You're putting your lives on the line and we want you to know we thank you. We see you. And we are with you.
