The National Coalition of Frontline Workers (NCFW) launched in Washington, D.C., on Thursday with representatives from the first responders’ professions. Its first official agenda was to call on President Joe Biden to end the COVID-19 public health emergency that has been in effect and been repeatedly extended since January 2020.
“We’re all frontline workers here—we know what an emergency is,” announced Jason Collins, the Vice President of Administration for the NCFW and a Washington, D.C., firefighter since 2004. “I’ve never pulled up in front of somebody’s house that is on fire and said ‘I’m going to wait three years to see what happens.’ We dealt with the emergency, and we ended it, and we went back home. That’s what needs to happen today.”

Vaccine mandates by large city governments throughout the pandemic have ended in frontline workers getting fired across the nation, even as the shots have proven ineffective at stopping the spread of the Omicron variant. There are an estimated 24 million frontline workers in the United States, according to the group.

NCFW has a non-profit foundation, as well as a 501 C-5 arm that will enable the coalition to make political contributions and endorsements. The executives of the group made clear that they will back Democrats and Republicans based on their founding principles that every member gets one vote and choices are made in a democratic way.

A speaker at the event, Dr. Robert Malone, who is one of the original inventors of mRNA vaccine technology platform, explained to the crowd that he met the frontline workers at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in January at a rally titled “Defeat the Mandates,” where they came up with the idea and organized the NCFW.

“All of you at one point were embraced as heroes of the United States and then suddenly when you decided you should stand up for medical freedom… suddenly you were vilified,” Malone announced. “This cannot happen again. So an organization like yours that brings together these frontline communities is crucial going forward, and I hope will be able to bring a little more sanity to our political process going forward.”
