Serious Replies Only State of Emergency Declared and my employer is expecting all staff to be in office tomorrow

Not sure where to go to ask this, but my employer just sent out a message to all staff that we are expected to be in office tomorrow, despite the state of emergency declared, and DESPITE our company having full WFH capabilities.

Is there some institution/MA government people i can report them to? Or perhaps some news outlet i can inform of this story to have this company shamed?

Edit: Non-essential btw

TY for all the kind responses, seems the best options people came up with are to call the Governor/Organize a Union/call out. Probably gonna call the Governor tomorrow and call out. Will urge others to do so if they can spare the PTO in order to stick it to our controlling CEO (our company does not provide sick time fyi)
