We’re thrilled to be hosting a forum for pharmacists, hardware stores, booksellers, and 300+ other independent businesses to talk with @RepCicilline about why reinvigorating our antitrust laws is so crucial to the vitality of our communities and democracy.
Join us Monday!
Bigger ain’t always better, and policymakers are beginning to understand. On Feb 22; 1:00-2:15 ET, @ilsr presents ‘Reining in Monopoly Power: Small Businesses & the Push to Strengthen Antitrust Laws,’ a FREE webinar w/Rep. David Cicilline. Plan to attend! zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…

This isn’t just happening in NY — the same story is echoed across the country. Our industry needs relief, our industry needs the #RestaurantsActNow.
