We have all witnessed unprecedented numbers of protesters filling the streets to march against racial injustice. While many demonstrations were peaceful, others turned to looting, setting fires and causing mass destruction, leaving many businesses wondering whether they will ever recover and reopen. These business owners have expressed anguish and devastation over this new blow, especially while many are still weathering the storm of the coronavirus pandemic. This damage to our businesses is only hurting us and our communities, IT IS NOT solving the problem of racial injustice. We must all stand together with one voice and demand change of action!
