John, stop me if this starts sounding familiar:

A global pandemic wreaks havoc on the United States, with little help or
leadership from a grossly unprepared and disastrously organized Republican
administration.

Senate Republicans block desperately needed economic relief, leading to
higher rates of food insecurity, child hunger, and child poverty.

Republican governors push to restart everything too soon, increase
COVID-19 transmission and accelerate the pandemic beyond our control.

The “essential workers” — who are paid lip service, but not a $15 per hour
federal minimum wage or adequate unemployment insurance — have to go back
to work, exposing themselves to COVID-19.

Hundreds of thousands die, leading to a shortage of workers in
high-mortality professions like cooks, bakers, package workers, and
agricultural workers.

And the same kids forced back into poverty and hunger when Republicans let
the expanded Child Tax Credit expire, and who may have lost a parent or
guardian due to this pandemic — are now the ones Republicans are pushing
to enter the labor force.

It’s one of the most cynical, disgusting manipulations of an economic and
health care crisis to exploit the labor market that I have seen in over 20
years in Congress.

that addresses child labor law violations. Add your name if you agree:

Here’s how bad things are getting:

Former Trump White House press secretary and current Arkansas governor
Sarah Huckabee Sanders just signed a law allowing kids as young as 14 to
work with no work permit required. The kids don’t look too happy.

The New York Times interviewed over 100 migrant child workers in 20 states
working in violation of federal labor law — children as young as 12 that
have dropped out of school to work full-time, overnight, in factories, on
construction sites, or on assembly lines.

And GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley is saying we need to raise the
retirement age for Medicare and Social Security for people in their 20s,
“so that it matches life expectancy.”

Start ‘em early, and don’t stop until you drop. That seems to be the
Republican mantra. No childhood, no retirement — just a lifetime of
working to pad their corporate donors’ bottom lines.

While Republicans attempt to ban books, erase the LGBTQ+ community, and
crusade against Democrats in an attempt to “protect children,” they are
exploiting those very children in ways this country hasn’t seen since the
era of the robber barons over a century ago.

We have to act.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to my petition calling on Senate Democrats to take the
lead on fighting back against Republicans exploiting child labor. When we
make it to the United States Senate, we are going to protect our kids —
once and for all.

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and stay updated on this
emerging crisis. Together, we have the power to create an economy that is
more just, where kids can be kids, and workers have the power to determine
their own destiny.

— Adam
