ARA Co-Signed a Letter to White House on Vaccination Requirements Restricting Food Transportation

Feb 22 2022

ARA and the undersigned organizations wrote to the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator with concerns for how new rules outlined in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection notice effective Jan. 22 that require all individuals, except U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination when entering the country.

While ARA and the undersigned organizations continue to promote the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine, we express significant concerns for how new requirements are already impacting farmworkers and truckers whose work ensures stocked grocery and other retail stores.
