OC Board of Supervisors to debate Resolution Determining Houses of Worship as Essential Services

View this email in your browser

Fellow Republicans,

Our Republican Supervisors have been pushing to reopen our county safely. Religious worship is a key to mental and emotional health for most of our society and Supervisors Bartlett and Do recently sent a letter to the Governor, but today’s revised order from the Governor is overly restrictive and vague. We must do more.

Tomorrow, Chairwoman Michelle Steel will introduce a resolution to the Orange County Board of Supervisors which will support fully reopening houses of worship countywide. Orange County has already been approved to enter Stage 2 of reopening, but placing a ban on singing and limiting houses of worship to a 100-person maximum when big box stores have hundreds is unjust. Our Governor must recognize that our 1st Amendment rights are non-negotiable and that in person religious services must be deemed “essential”. Just days ago, over 1,200 pastors and 10,000 religious leaders across our state sent a Declaration of Essentially to the Governor, and they need our support.

The Board of Supervisors will convene Tomorrow, May 26^th at 9:30 AM to discuss this proposed resolution. Please call and email the Board of Supervisors now and encourage them to support religious liberty.
