Add Your Voice: Open Safe Indoor Dining

For more than two months, Illinois has shut down indoor service at restaurants in every region of the state. These extreme restrictions are devastating Illinois' hospitality community.

The IRA is urging Governor Pritzker and state leaders to take a more pragmatic approach to mitigations that allows for limited indoor dining, which will protect public health without destroying businesses and livelihoods.

Hospitality businesses across Illinois have been surviving the winter by exhausting all remaining funds, laying off dedicated team members, and often closing up operations.

Restaurants are running out of time, and they need a more reasonable – and immediate – path forward.

Here are two ways to make your voice heard:
