An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect Essential Workers

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I'm writing to remind you that Congress has a responsibility to ensure essential workers have the protections they need, the rights they are entitled to, and the compensation they deserve. We must ensure essential workers are protected as much as possible through safety standards around personal protective equipment and cleaning procedures that corporations are legally required to abide by for all workers, no matter their immigration or contractor status. Congress must require that employers provide hazard pay, sick leave, child care, and healthcare to provide essential workers the same level of protection they are providing us in this crisis.
