Holy One, thank you for our grocery workers who are the unsung heroes that help us battle this crisis time by putting food on our tables. Thank you for their courage and patience to calm our fears and nourish our bodies and souls as our world moves through these deep waters of the unknown. May your protection be over them. May your love surround them. May your face shine upon them and keep them healthy. May we be grateful for their labor of love with our words and actions. Amen.?

Dear friends,

We at CLUE pray that you, your families, and your congregations are safe and in good health.

CLUE has walked with grocery workers again and again over the years, pointing out?their profound role in nourishing our communities. Now the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed to millions more of our neighbors these workers' crucial worth, and strength.?Working long hours, exposed to large volumes?of customers, and risking infection, all for our sake, essential retail store workers are unsung heroes who have found themselves at the frontlines of this crisis.

Now more than ever, we need our state and its leaders to do everything in their power to support these workers.? <[link removed]>Please Join Us in Telling Gov. Gavin Newsom to Take Executive Action to Support our Grocery and Pharmacy Store Workers <[link removed]>

We call?on the state of California to designate?essential retail workers as emergency frontline personnel.?This must include, at a minimum:

- Right to wash their hands every 30 minutes, or as needed;
- Right to personal protection equipment (gloves and masks);
- Institution of plexiglass at checkstands and pharmacy counters;
- Access to sanitizers and increased sanitation activity;
- Customer crowd control and security guards;
- Standardized and limited operating hours for all grocery and drug stores (to allow for sanitation);
- Right to free COVID-19 testing;
- 14 days additional sick days for workers impacted by COVID-19;
- Right to paid child care.??



We know there are many demands on the governor, but essential retail workers are a critical link in our food chain supply.?California must enact an emergency order now in order to protect them and our communities.

Can you please send a letter to Governor Newsom today via their online petition? <[link removed]>

*We would appreciate if you'd notify us once you've sent your letter by simply replying to this email. Thank you!*

In solidarity & gratitude,
