Dear MoveOn member,

Right now, a lot of us have to stay home—but we don't have to stay quiet. 

Across the country, workers are on the front lines against the coronavirus
pandemic—protecting our health and saving our lives, keeping the economy
running, providing food for millions, and allowing people to stay safe as
they stay home.

Our nation has a responsibility to ensure that these essential workers
have the protections they need, the rights they are entitled to, and the
compensation they deserve.

[ [link removed] ]Sign here to demand Congress pass an Essential Workers Bill of Rights.

Essential workers, including domestic workers, factory workers, state and
local government employees, janitorial staff, and utility workers, are
risking their lives every day so others can stay home. To protect them,
Congress must require companies to provide the personal protective
equipment and supplies necessary for them to do their jobs safely. And
companies that don't comply should be held accountable.

What's happening to the frontline workers right now is outrageous and
heartbreaking: Nurses are wearing garbage bags to protect themselves. Bus
drivers are dying. Farm workers are facing pay cuts. 

We must not only protect essential workers' health but provide them with a
livable wage with robust premium pay, defend their right to vote to
unionize and speak out, guarantee them paid sick and family leave, and
expand their access to reliable, safe, high-quality child care.  

Representative Ro Khanna and I put forward a full proposal with 10
principles for supporting essential workers. Congress must include these
provisions in its next relief bill, because time is of the essence. We’ve
seen how delays implementing the advice of health experts on coronavirus
can be deadly.  

[ [link removed] ]Add your name in support of providing essential workers with health
protections, robust premium pay, collective bargaining protections, and
relief during the coronavirus pandemic.

The economy has been rigged against working people by the ultra wealthy
for far too long. The reforms we pass now will lay a foundation for how we
treat all workers in the future and grow the economy from the grassroots
up.  

So it is time for us to get really loud. Although we can't be together in
person, we can still use our voices—by signing petitions, making calls to
Congress, caring for each other, and fighting for what we believe in. 

[ [link removed] ]Raise your voice by signing the petition calling on Congress to pass an
Essential Workers Bill of Rights. 

Thanks for being a part of this.

–Elizabeth
