Want AA/NA meetings to be allowed to be considered an essential service/business under law

The Issue

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has put a tremendous amount of strain on people who struggle with mental health issues and/or drug & alcohol addiction. Many are at a higher risk of danger than “normal” times. We would like these meetings to be held in person with social distancing guidelines, if needed. These are people at high risk for relapse, possibly resulting in death. The goal is to save lives and we believe there are more practical measures that we can put in place to accomplish this.
