Restaurants and bars across the country are shutting their doors to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and it’s hurting workers in all of our communities.
That’s why I — along with my sisters in service Alexandria, Ilhan, and Rashida — am raising funds for emergency relief for our country’s restaurant workers. We’ve all worked in the service industry and want to do everything we can to help those in need in the midst of this public health and economic crisis.
Every single dollar you contribute will go directly toward helping to provide emergency financial assistance to restaurant workers who have lost their livelihood due to the COVID-19.
From my own experience working in the service industry, I know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, and I understand the impossible decisions facing families when that income disappears.
The Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) is a non-profit organization that focuses on fighting for economic justice for our country’s restaurant workers. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastating impact it’s having on our economy, ROC has launched a goal of raising $500,000 for workers who are in need of emergency financial assistance.
While I am continuing to work in Congress for comprehensive worker protections including paid sick leave, universal health care, and student loan cancellation, there are millions of restaurant workers who are in urgent need of immediate financial assistance.
Thank you for your solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
