LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Biden’s plans can be a big help

Thanks for the two pieces on President Joe Biden, one to fulfill a promise and one highlighting his plan to help American families — “World needs Biden’s help to end pandemic” and “Biden to pitch sweeping ‘family plan’ in speech to Congress,” on April 28.

Both of these articles explain how the president can make a difference for families in America and around the world. A COVID-19 vaccine available to all would help end this pandemic sooner, protecting us locally from the new variants that would continue to reach our shores.

Biden’s plan to help families would provide ladders out of poverty, like child care funding so parents can afford to work. Universal preschool helps ensure that all children are ready for the education that prepares them for our modern world.

We can encourage either of these actions by writing, calling or visiting our members of Congress and asking them to support and pass these important initiatives. This is the power to help put America on the path to equity: communicating to those who represent us and following up to make sure they take action.
