Dear Friends,
We have a busy 10 days ahead! The time to stand up is NOW. Please participate this week, like you never have before!
NOVEMBER 4th
We need you this Thursday, November 4, 5-7 PM, at the Candlelight Vigil for COVID Vaccine Victims.
This is an opportunity to show solidarity with those who are suffering, and to draw attention to the urgent need to stop vaccine mandates affecting businesses, employees, and children. Our legislators and governor need to know this is serious.
This event is in coordination with--and is our official Utah observation of--the Children's Health Defense (November 3) kick off of a week of walk outs, AND is coordinated with multiple other groups across the state of Utah. (If you choose to walk out of your work on Wednesday or Thursday, that is awesome, too. But this is the coordinated event for Utah. We have spoken directly with CHD and they understand this. Anything beyond this on November 3rd and 4th is gravy. Thank you for any additional efforts you make! See below for more on walkouts.)
If even half of the people on this email list, alone, participate we will make a huge showing. Let's do this! Please, get babysitters for young children and bring anyone who is safe on a sidewalk, near a busy street. (See flier above, and last week's email for more detailed instructions.) Bring candles if you can, but there will also be candles there.
NOVEMBER 8-11
November 8-11 is a nationwide walkout. Any business that is mandating COVID vaccines needs to feel the pinch. Gather your colleagues, use your sick leave, and help employers understand that they need their employees. Southwest did that. Clinics in Utah have done this. Your office can do this! (See more information to share with employers below.)
