Restaurant owners, gym owners, healthcare workers, teachers, and parents stood with San Diego County community leaders fed up with severe government-imposed COVID restrictions and confronted the San Diego County Board of Supervisors during a board meeting on Tuesday, August 17, just as the board is preparing to issue new response proposals to combat what it has deemed a “local health emergency.”
Should the board approve recommendations put forth by local public health officials, San Diego County would be added to the ever-expanding list of U.S. cities and counties instituting mandatory vaccine passports to enter restaurants and retail stores, and reinstating masking in schools and public indoor spaces.
On Tuesday, local media outlet KUSI news reported on the backlash from the courageous Californians, noting a community rally was held prior to the meeting, with the advocacy groups ReOpen San Diego, Let Them Breathe, and San Diego Rise Up providing the public with resources such as petitions and proclamations that businesses can display declaring they are against discrimination.
