No Republican Convention in Phoenix
President Trump and the republican party are considering Phoenix as a possible location for the Republican National Convention later this summer. Charlotte, NC the original convention location has said that they will not allow a large rally due to the pandemic and the risk that large crowds will pose. Given the rise in COVID-19 cases in Arizona, along with an older, more vulnerable population, holding the convention here would increase our risk of community spread, endangering our citizens and overburdening our healthcare system. We are asking that Phoenix be taken off the list of possible venues for the convention.
Why is this important?
We are are already experiencing a high spike in COVID-19 cases since our state reopened in mid May. Think about a convention center in Phoenix holding tens of thousands of people without masks or social distancing...we cannot risk it. Please sign this petition to protect our families, our friends and our communities.
