Hi,

A long and growing list of women have come forward accusing Elon Musk and
his companies of rampant sexual harassment.^1 Musk was even forced to pay
a flight attendant $250,000 after she claimed that he exposed himself and
propositioned her for sex during a flight in 2016.^2

And now Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit aimed at destroying one of the key
federal agencies responsible for protecting workers from sexual abuse and
harassment: the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).^3

If Musk's lawsuit is successful, it would deal a huge blow to the rights
of workers everywhere. That's why we must fight back and demand that
Congress act now to fully fund and protect the National Labor Relations
Board from these attacks.

Elon Musk has a long history of opposing unions and lashing out at
employees.^4 His misogynist, racist, and dangerous conspiracy-filled posts
on the website formerly known as Twitter are infamous.^5

What may be less well-known about Musk is that he has been repeatedly
accused of sexual misconduct.

Employees at the male-dominated SpaceX say he's created a culture that
tolerates both harassment and gender discrimination, and they organized an
open letter urging the company to enforce of the company's sexual
harassment policies.

But instead of taking the employees' complaints seriously, Musk fired
them.^6

The National Labor Relations Board stepped in to defend the fired workers
early this year, calling their termination illegal.^7 Almost immediately,
Musk announced his revenge: a baseless lawsuit claiming the agency is
unconstitutional.

Elon Musk's lawsuit opens the door to a total erosion of worker
protections. But Congress has the ability to ensure that the board remains
strong. We need them to act now.

Board and other pro-worker reforms.
