On a very limited grocery trip this morning, the overeager store employee in charge of the PA system wanted everyone to know that there were sales in the "seasonal aisle" #thread #endtheendcap
So I turn into the "seasonal aisle" to see if there is matzah and macaroons to be found since the last 4 STORES I tried over the last week were emptied completely | #thread #endtheendcap
Said aisle is positively dripping with pastel and plastic Easter eggs and bags of candy worthy of halloween but no matzah, macaroons, or passover decor in sight. | #thread #endtheendcap
And the same sinking feeling I get during every #Jewish holiday came sneaking back into my psyche. Did you know that #Passover 
happens every year at the same time as #Easter 
? Did you know that there's roughly 7.2 MILLION Jewish people in the United States? | #thread #endtheendcap

Did you know that literally NONE of the food promoted for #Easter is #kosher for #passover ? 7.2 million people who are presumably looking for some kind of Passover food and can't find any. | #Thread #Endtheendcap

In the time of #socialdistancing and #covid19, driving round to 5 different stores to find food to eat is not only irrational, it's exponentially more dangerous. This morning I gave up and decided that #Passover would just last as long as my matzah did. | #thread #endtheendcap

This time in our world has started to make it very clear who is valued and who is not. I'm not saying that grocery stores are intentionally trying to harm #jewish folx. | #thread #endtheendcap
I'm saying that the same negligence and #willfulignorance that has been around since I was a kid is now making honoring annual holidays which are not mainstream is not only unsupported but dangerous. | #thread #endtheendcap
If stores took half a second to source a reasonable amount of food for their customers, this wouldn't be an issue. If they moved #jewish and #kosher food to more than a 3x7 end cap, this wouldn't be an issue. | #thread #endtheendcap
@kroger @Target @Walmart @FoodLion @Safeway @Publix @WholeFoods I invite you to #endtheendcap and consider the actual needs of your #historicallymarginalized customers. This #thread is not only about #jewish folx; it's about everyone who has been relegated to the #endcap
