Boston Ma,

Fantastic idea! Definitely an important step to help Small Business in this challenging economic environment.

@Christopher J. Roche -Great ideas. 7. Don't buy from Amazon if it is available at a local store.

Great thought @Christopher J. Roche .  I found out recently my local coffee shop shut it's doors.  Going to an independent pharmacy is an idea.  Last I checked band aids were the same everywhere.  Plus, you get to chat with a cool person, and learn about their background.  Cheers for the reminder.

Thanks for putting this out there! Small business and entrepreneurship is the life blood of America. Together we can make a difference. 

Most importantly, contact your politicians and tell them to let local businesses open back up. My states unemployment levels are back to pre-COVID. We never had full shut downs and in the process lost very few businesses. My state COVID numbers are even better than states with shut downs. These continued closures are just an assault on small business.
