As restaurants and bars remain largely shuttered this week, and many more businesses are cutting staff and closing their doors, The Show turned to Kimber Lanning, founder of Local First Arizona. 

It’s the largest coalition of locally owned businesses in the country, and Lanning has spent much of her career working to build it. She said watching the local business community in our state hurt this week has been very hard.

Local First Arizona has a  growing list of all of the small businesses Arizonans can support through this crisis at localfirstaz.com/covid19.
