What the petition asks
To ensure that all frontline workers can feed themselves and their families to enable nutritional support.
Bring back the ‘ration card’ or e-rationing, use our technology to create an app, but ensuring that those that are vulnerable or unable can be issued a hard copy version.

With out a decent nutritional food supply for frontline workers, they will not be able to sustain their own health with the added pressures of working extra hours and extra work demands.
If we don’t sustain and protect frontline workers and those that are vulnerable then there will be no one to look after the sick, or distribute the food to the businesses. We are already as a nation in a state of despair. Please issue ration cards.
