• Save the Sunset (Sunset Overlook)
    The court was provided a memorandum, authored by a City Official, stating that Sunset Overlook is not in violation of their ordinances. However, a judge instructed Sunset Overlook that the city needs to back up their memorandum by clarifying their code. Sunset Overlook has been penalized financially, is experiencing hardship, and is in danger of closing if the city does not act immediately.

  • Against Re-opening Salons / Personal Services by April 27th, May 1st, or before it is safe
    By signing this petition we agree, though we may need the income, the risk is still too high and unknown. We are signing this petition to postpone the “Soft Opening”, "One Client at a Time", and to prolong the opening of any and all personal services to prevent spread and unsafe environments for the personal care service providers and clients. "Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others" - CDC How can we maintain the recommended safe distance of 6 foot while performing a service that requires direct physical contact with clients? Service providers and clients / guests are usually a maximum distance of one foot or less while performing / receiving these services. How can we guarantee safety and prevention of spreading the coronavirus in a salon when it is not currently guaranteed for those who are on the front-line in the medical field with proper PPE. If personal service providers had PPE how would this have an effect on the supplies for the medical professionals who need the PPE for patients and themselves? In the link above from The United States Department Of Labor for hazard recognition you will see these services would be defined as "HIGH EXPOSURE RISK" based off of the close proximity to perform personal services. Personal Services are not listed but the examples of exposure are. Personal care services are NOT essential services, as personal care services are a “LUXURY SERVICE”. No ones hair, nails, massages, facials, eyelashes, eyebrows, or other personal care service are above the risk of life lost. Personal care services do not provide BASIC HUMAN NEED. Personal care services are an important and unique services, but are not essential. Essential services should only include the well being of human health, safety, nutrition, utilities, home safety, and basic human needs or necessities. Personal Care services are not basic human needs nor necessary. If there are for health reasons then they should only be performed by the health care facilities. Opening these services may cause crowds and gatherings of more than 10 people at a time. This could also have more than 10 people in the same facility in a day which could cause potential spread. The Covid-19 is still very new, unpredictable, and still not fully understood. The CDC has yet to completely determine how to fully prevent spread, infection, a cure, or a vaccination to protect humanity as a whole. It would be best to remain closed temporarily and prolong the reopening of any and all personal care to reduce the chance of spreading the coronavirus and causing another spike or backpedal of all that has been accomplished by the social distancing. If and when we are deemed safe to re-open personal care services then we should be one of the last business types and services to open due to our need to be in close proximity of one another to perform such services. Many of us have clients with health issues like cancer, emphysema, diabetes, and more. If we are to re-open, how are we guaranteed that we will not be infected by a client and unknowingly spread the coronavirus to others? If we are to re-open, clients must trust that it is safe for them to come in for services. Even with adhering to a strict cleaning and decontamination policy, how can we guarantee that clients won’t contract the coronavirus? It is human nature to forget, get side tracked, and even skip a step unconsciously. What if our human nature can cause risk? What if a simple touch to an unsanitized surface causes a person to get sick? What if a simple sneeze while wearing a mask is not filtered enough as we stand / sit over one another? What if someone forgets a simple sanitation step? There are too many unknown variables and what if's to reopen at this time. As said above it is impossible to keep a safe social distance based off of the CDS's recommendation when we have to touch clients / guests to perform personal care services in less than a 6 foot distance even while wearing a mask. It is also almost impossible to follow the OSHA safety and sanitation guidelines as personal care service providers that do not have PPE attire. Personal Care Service providers would also need the proper training to learn all that these guidelines entail prior to opening which would not be possible in a short period of time. For the professionals in the personal care service industry, many have families that need to be protected as some are high risk to Covid-19. The business owners and service providers may have family members at home with underlying health issues. The service providers do not want to risk their own health or the health of their families by taking an unnecessary risk of bringing this virus home if the mandated orders are lifted prior to more facts of a guarantied safety or lower risk of spread. If personal care services are called to re-open the service providers will lose other financial aid and/or help from companies like the utilities, mortgage / rent, car payments, Unemployment, SBA loans, PPP loans, and more. These financial options are currently understanding of the pandemic and are willing to work with personal care providers. This is helping us stay home, safe, prevention of spread to high risk family members, high risk clients / guest, all while preventing the risk of losing their businesses and or job opportunities.

  • CrossFit Gyms are Essential in Minnesota
    As health and fitness professionals as well as small business owners, we want to make sure that when we begin our work again, we do so in a way that protects the health and safety of our members and community. We have developed a white paper that spells out what we think are best practices and standards for the fitness industry to reopen and operate safely and effectively. Our gyms allow us to engage in these powerful preventative measures in a manner that is far safer than any grocery store, bakery, liquor store, retail outlet, or gas station; all of which are still operating as "essential" businesses. Not to mention, other “gyms” cannot do what we do as we have hundreds of members, whereas they have thousands. Not to mention, when our clients are healthier, they are more readily able to fight disease!

  • Keep The Covid19 Economic Checks Out Of Partisan Politics
    1) The Economic Impact relief Fund has been instituted by an Act of Congress in a Bipartisan move, NOT by any Executive Order! 2) In EVERY Sense it is UNETHICAL to attach personal memo or Name on the checks because the use of Public Office to Promote Election Agenda is UNETHICAL and should be PROHIBITED BY AN ACT OF CONGRESS for current & All times! The People of America will not allow opportunistic tendencies to be carried out from the Public Offices! 3) POTUS office is a PUBLIC Office, NOT a PRIVATE, PERSONAL FAMILY ORGANIZATION and the Citizens are NOT an Employee of the Office of the POTUS. ------ The Opportunists MUST BE SHOWN THE DOOR, In all Times! The God & Commonsense BOTH of them AGREE on this important matter, all around the world. ----- **IT IS TO BE REMEMBERED THAT BY JUDGING THE MERIT OF CIRCUMSTANCES WE THE PEOPLE HOLD THE POWER TO FIRE POTUS FROM THE JOB; THIS IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY**

  • Soft Opening One Client at a time
    We are in an industry that survives by clients in our chair to pay our bills. This is not a job that can be done over the Internet. Every salon that I’m aware of already has policy in place because we are inspected each year by the state ,making sure that we carry correct sanitizing and disinfecting product . It’s what the state requires just to be able to attain a license to be open. Our hands are in constant soap and water and gloves are worn on a regular basis to begin with anyone that’s ever been to their hairstylist realizes this. I don’t know how we are defined as “nonessential“ business, Salons have much better control of how our clients come and go , Because clients have appointments. Appointments allow control to sanitize after each and every client that comes and goes. We need to be able to go back to work . No help has been put in place for the individual independent stylist… We need to go back to work.

  • Tanning Salons provide sunlight and UV benefits reported to destroy virus in new studies.
    Tanning salons are primarily women-owned small businesses. We are extremely seasonal and unfortunately this is the "season". In most cases, the income we earn during the spring months pay our bills during the slower months. It will be very difficult to recover from our losses. The PPP and EIDL programs have failed a majority of us and we are left without any means of income while being shut down. Tanning salons have always taken great responsibility in being extremely clean and sanitary places. We have always and will continue to practice heightened sanitary and privacy/spacing procedures. Additionally, new procedures would include: Only one client at a time inside the lobby area. Clients will be instructed to stand outside while waiting for their rooms to be sanitized with Lucasol, a hospital-grade sanitizer! Check-in procedure will be brief, as clients will be instructed to go to their room immediately upon entering. Clients will be mandated to wear masks as they enter and leave the salon! If the business space includes more than one door, one will be labeled "Enter" and the other as "Exit". Please consider the many reasons our customers use tanning salons: UV increases Vitamin D production, benefits customers with Psoriasis and multiple other skin conditions, while offering increased energy, hormonal balance and mood imprevement I encourage you to sign our petition and help us get open ASAP!
