This is going to be the only time I am going to ask any of my followers to sign a petition, any petition.
Petition here: https://www.change.org/p/joann-s-fabric-and-craft-stores-joann-s-close-your-stores-and-pay-employees-during-covid-19?recruiter=806860252&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf_combo_share_abi&recruited_by_id=c6b0f1f0-ac47-11e7-95b9-f96d911a1d29
For you who aren’t in California, the state has issued a Stay At Home order, where non-necessary stores are to be closed. Joann Fabric and Crafts has declared themselves necessary by using a loophole of “providing items to work from home.”
That’s not the intent of the order. It might be legal, but it’s not ethical, and it’s not helping the community in the way the order was intended. It’s putting lots of people at risk, and especially putting at risk the people who are most likely to die from COVID-19.
We need these stores to close. We are in a pandemic and there’s things more important than craft supplies out there.
Here’s the petition. If you have a chance, if you care about the safety of our community, and if you care about the safety of employees and their families, please take a second to let this company know that their actions are completely unethical.
