Why is this important?
Grocery stores have been deemed an essential service yet their employees are not being protected from Covid-19. These workers are being forced to be exposed to potential infection over and over daily and are also forced to potentially carry disease home to their families. These workers are incredibly vulnerable and are not being protected by their employers or the government.
How it will be delivered
I will forward this petition to local and federal governments as well as the major chain grocery stores.
