(OPEN):
IN THE FACE OF THE "COVID-19"-CRISIS, AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESSES REMAIN OPTIMISTIC ABOUT
REOPENING--IN LARGE PART, BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN EMPOWERED BY DIGITAL TOOLS.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO A REPORT FROM THE "CONNECTED-COMMERCE
COUNCIL"; JAKE WARD IS THE COUNCIL'S PRESIDENT...
(WARD):
"DURING THE 'COVID-19'-CRISIS--AS AMERICANS ARE ASKED TO STAY
HOME--'E-COMMERCE' AND ONLINE TOOLS HAVE BEEN AN ECONOMIC LIFELINE, FOR AMERICAN SMALL-BUSINESSES.
A RECENT REPORT--CONDUCTED BY THE 'CONNECTED-COMMERCE COUNCIL', IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
GOOGLE--FOUND THAT, WITHOUT ONLINE TOOLS, A THIRD OF SMALL BUSINESSES
WOULD'VE CLOSED THEIR DOORS. AMERICAN SMALL-BUSINESSES ARE EMPOWERED BY ONLINE TOOLS AND MARKETPLACES [THAT ARE] BUILT BY AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY-COMPANIES.
AND, THEY'LL NEED THOSE RESOURCES, [IN ORDER] TO LEAD OUR NATIONAL RECOVERY.
WE URGE ELECTED-OFFICIALS TO PROTECT SMALL BUSINESSES--AND THEIR ACCESS TO THE TOOLS [THAT] THEY NEED."
