ASA member companies take action during COVID-19 crisis
Nearly 7,800 emails sent in Washington advocacy effort imploring PHCP-PVF industry be classified as essential.
As of press time amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Nearly 2,000 employees of American Supply Association member companies had visited a special ASA Take Action page on the ASA website and sent nearly 7,800 emails to President Trump, their U.S. senators and local congressmen in support of declaring the PHCP-PVF industry essential.
“As we face mounting challenges across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, government response has been starkly different at the federal, state and local levels,” ASA CEO Mike Adelizzi noted during the late March timeframe of the pandemic. “We have been working on behalf of our ASA members (and with our coalition allies) to establish what it means to be an ‘essential business’ during this crisis. In many areas, it has been a patchwork of regulations that can vary by state, county and municipality.”
