Good Afternoon,
I thank you for the critical support you continue to provide as a faith leader in California. Unfortunately, houses of worship have been left out of the Governor’s Stage 2 plan for reopening which begins tomorrow, Friday, May 8. It is imperative we allow our churches to reopen with safeguards in place so our communities can begin to heal together. That’s why my colleagues and I have requested for the Governor to include houses of worship in Stage 2 of California’s Pandemic Resilience Roadmap.
