Over 90,000 hospitality workers in the city, most laid off. We need to organize to get workers the relief we deserve!

DSA New Orleans continues to fight! We're building a movement and we need all hands on deck to win:

We're part of a coalition fighting for hospitality workers. New Orleans' Exhibition Hall Authority has nearly $200 million in cash reserves and, with over 90,000 hospitality and tourism workers in New Orleans currently out of work, we are demanding $100 million go to direct relief for workers. The GNO Fair Hospitality Fund ([link removed]) is escalating now and we need everyone's help!
* Sign the petition. Demand the Exhibition Hall Authority give direct relief to workers! You can sign here ([link removed])
* Share the petition. Is someone in your family, a friend, or a neighbor an out of work hospitality worker? Ask them to sign and share the petition!
* Film a #FairFundNow selfie. Check out some of the videos we’ve already uploaded to our facebook ([link removed]) , and share widely. Instructions for how to do your own are here ([link removed]) . If you’re not an out of work hospitality worker ([link removed]) , pass this along your networks.
* Join our online rally! On 4/20 from 5 pm - 7 pm. You can find the Facebook event here ([link removed]) with links to zoom registration.

We've been compiling resources to help laid off workers understand the CARES Act, file for benefits and find local relief funds.
