Our Fight to be Included as an "Essential Business"
Many of our printer-members are trying to keep operating under the provision in the County Shelter-in-Place Orders that allows serving Essential Businesses. What the industry really need is to be included as an Essential Business, ourselves.
We have responded with a statewide effort. Along with our sister associations in Southern California and Northern California, we and our professional lobbyist, sent this letter to the State of California demanding that the list of Essential Businesses include print and print related services. We are also coordinating efforts with PIA, our national association, to affect changes nationally, since all states are now fighting this same battle to help our local government recognize the critical importance of print.
If you are active on social media, please help by sharing the graphic included below, contact us and we can provide the file and you can add your company logo. Need help? email megan@piasd.org
