Issue Position: Covid-19 and #blacklivesmatter

Issue Position

COVID-19 has had a significant effect on our priorities, as have the recent protests as a result of police brutality against George Floyd, Javier Ambler and so many others. To address these major events in our lives, our office is re-prioritizing our efforts. We have recently established an Anti-Racism Advisory Group and will be holding conversations with the group to help determine new priorities for next session.

COVID-19 is still a threat to our health and economy, and we ask that you continue to wear a mask when in public, maintain six feet distance between you and others when possible, minimize your outings, wash your hands frequently, stay home when sick, and get tested if you have any COVID symptoms.
