Grooming salons have sanitary protocols in place to keep owner and pet safe. important? Small businesses MATTER and some of those small businesses shut down are groomers (Mobile , storefront & homebased ) . Pet grooming is essential We believe that providing grooming services is essential to health and wellness of pets. Without proper and routine grooming care and hygiene which includes everything from bathing to nail clipping, gland expression, teeth brushing, ear cleaning and more pets can be at risk for a number of negative health impacts including skin and coat issues and infections, injuries from overgrown nails, and dental health issues, to name a few. Many pet parents are not capable nor properly equipped to groom their pets at home in the grooming services pet groomers provide whether storefront to mobile are not at all equivalent to human haircuts or salon service. Grooming businesses are more than capable of taking all steps necessary to insure the safety of the public’s health.

  • Elizabeth Warren's Recovery Plan for Generations to Come
    The response for handling the coronavirus outbreak has put a lot of responsibility on states. This needs a Federal response way beyond the ability of any one state. It is the Federal government who can take critical steps to ensure we gain control over this pandemic. Right now our Healthcare system is stretched to the brink. Frontline Workers are walking into dangerous work conditions. These are healthcare workers, transit, grocery, janitors, childcare workers, domestic, delivery, and food processor workers. They do not have proper protective gear, and are not being compensated for working in unsafe conditions. And if they aren't safe, we aren't safe. Huge portions of communities of color are being more hard hit than any other communities. Many of these communities already have high incidents of compromised health and live in communities that are economically devastated. This crisis will widen that gap if we don't make structural changes. We are at an unemployment rate near Depression Era levels. Debt is going to mount high for workers and students if we don't' make large scale policy changes. This is why this isn't just a health issue. This is a moral issue, a medical issue, an economic issue, a legal issue and a voting rights issue. More people will die needlessly if we don't have an immediate federal surge in testing capacity. The Defense Production Act can ensure this happens. We need to manufacture tens of millions of tests, personal protective equipment, drugs that are in shortage, and any future vaccines and treatments when markets fail to do so. This dramatic surge is critical not only to test the sick, but test persons who appear to be healthy but may be asymptomatic and keep detecting it in the population and identify hotspots. This plan is asking for suspending consumer debt collection, moratorium on eviction and foreclosures, stop utility and water shutoffs, student loan debt cancellation, free healthcare for persons who have none, increase Social Security and Disability Benefits. Passage the Essential Workers Bill of Rights that will provide paid family and medical leave, give workers PPE to do job safely, give hazard pay, and all workers kept on payroll even if the need to stay home. Pass federal price gouging and conflict of interest laws. Require full disclosure of lobbying. Lastly, adopt mandatory reforms to ensure everyone can vote safely. Medical Needs, Economic Needs, Protection of Frontline Workers and Workers, Laws to Protect us from Carpetbaggers, Protection of our Voting Rights. These are all the Moral Issues of our time. Tell Congress to take the right path to recovery and a better future for us and future generations by signing Senator Warren's Coronavirus Recovery Plan.

  • Require masks for everyone who works with our food
    Food is the one thing we must leave our homes to get, so food stores are the most likely places for us to pick up the coronavirus. Anyone can have Covid-19 and be asymptomatic. The virus is aerosolized into the air on our breath and yet none of the cashiers or packers at the local grocery store is wearing a mask.
