This is a classic example of government overreach, violation of civil rights and obstructing communities helping themselves. Religious centers are not just places where we sing hymns. They are coordination points for people to help others in our communities. They are places where we can drop off food and supplies for our friends and neighbors. The governor needs to clarify his statement immediately so that we know we won’t be prosecuted for trying to help people.

COVID 19 Update:

We are urging the Governor to continue to suspend COPN regulations so that we can increase access to health care. In addition to COPN regulations, we will need to ensure that doctors and nurses coming into the Commonwealth from other states are permitted to provide care without being penalized due to a lack of licensure reciprocity.

In addition to the suspension of regulations preventing access to healthcare, we must ensure that no small business goes out of business due to tax liabilities during this time. We are calling on the governor to suspend any tax liabilities while our local businesses are desperately trying to make payroll.

We have the ability to ensure citizens that their government will not allow onerous taxes or regulations to stand in the way of them getting access to healthcare or keeping their jobs.
