Contact my congressional representatives and demand they support an essential workers Bill of Rights

Nearly 60 million Americans are still working to keep our internet running, to deliver our groceries, to make sure we have electricity, and to care for the sick. Sadly, many employers are not giving their front-line employees masks, sterile gloves or other things they need to stay safe and healthy to benefit all of us.

Please contact your elected officials and demand they support an essential workers Bill of Rights that includes:

  1. Health and safety protections.
  2. Robust premium compensation.
  3. Protections for collective bargaining agreements
  4. Truly universal paid sick leave and family and medical leave.
  5. Protections for whistle blowers.
  6. An end to worker misclassification.
  7. Health care security.
  8. Support for childcare.
  9. Treat workers as experts.
  10. Hold corporations accountable for meeting their responsibilities.

Please consider buying meals for hospital workers and also helping local restaurant workers by donating to Off Their Plate, a volunteer run organization that raises money to buy and deliver meals for hospital workers from local restaurants who commit that at least 50% of the cost of the meal will go to their workers.
