Fighting to get out of state cheer competition canceled

Varsity cancelled the competition! Thank goodness. Never give up when you believe what you are doing is the right thing.

I signed a contract, so they will sue me for the money. They are sue-ers.

Yes, I am a great mom! Thank you! I am protecting my child, family and community from the virus to the best of my abilities. However, unless everyone stops being selfish and stops going everywhere this will continue to spread. I have been pressuring my boss from almost the very beginning to start letting people work from home, distancing ourselves. At first he and the others ignored me, but I didn't quit. I kept ON AND ON until they finally started taking action. Had I had my preference I would have been working from home weeks ago, but I can only do what I can do. However, although I am not at the top of my organization, I did not let that quiet my voice. I also sent an email to the Alabama Coronavirus Taskforce, and I plan to send to all my state representatives tomorrow. I will not sit idly by while people put our communities in danger, no matter how stupid they may think I am. I KNOW what I believe this is, and it is NOT natural and NOT the flu. Even the flu killed millions in the past, and this is MUCH, MUCH worse. We must stand up, not only behind our keyboards, but in our communities. We can make a difference.

Amazing thread, serena28. I've been following it, and thank you SO MUCH for being the person you appear to be: Intelligent, conscientious, loving, and, dare I say, a lovely human being.

Thanks for taking the chance to post on GLP. I, for one, sincerely appreciate the time you have taken to add to our collective understanding, during this historic and scary time.

SO MUCH RESPECT

My employer has already advised us to no longer travel out of state, but my daughters cheer gym insists on going to Sevierville, Tennessee to a competition this weekend. I have refused to go, and they are having a fit. I don't think it is worth the risk. Would you go? Although I know many don't want a lock down, if we dont act it will spread to everyone. We must be proactive.
