Parent Union billboard: Unmask our children!

Members of the Parent Union in Riverside County have erected a billboard with a simple message: Unmask our children now!

The billboard, which also carries the message in Spanish, can be seen by motorists on Interstate 10 in the Coachella Valley for the next month.

“We are hoping the mask mandates for children are lifted,” said Riverside County Parent Union Ambassador Celeste Fiehler, referring to the state mandate that public schools require students to wear masks. “The heat here in the desert gets up to 120, and masking children in excessive heat is dangerous.”

The Parent Union, which has been working with parents throughout the state, is supporting parents’ right to decide what’s best for their children. To get connected with parents in your neighborhood, visit ParentUnion.org.
