Indivisibles,
Despite the fact that Congress has passed a total of four coronavirus
relief bills in less than two months, totaling $2.7 trillion in federal
funds, these bills are far from the kind of people-first response we
wanted to see from Congress.
That’s why Indivisible joined in partnership with a coalition of
progressive organizations demanding a People’s Agenda -- a pledge to vote
NO on the next coronavirus legislation unless it focuses on keeping people
on payrolls, providing direct financial relief, protecting the public
health, and defending elections!
And a crucial part of that agenda will be to include an Essential Worker
Bill of Rights. Essential workers are on the frontlines of this pandemic,
and many are working in high-risk conditions without appropriate
equipment, safety standards, or job protections. They should not have to
be exposed to even more risk on the job when a better future is possible.
Please join us TODAY in demanding Congress support a People’s Agenda,
including supporting an Essential Worker Bill of Rights. There are just a
few steps to join in solidarity with us:
1. [ [link removed] ]RSVP to the Essential Worker Bill of Rights Day of Action Facebook
event. Join in with people from around the country as we come together
(digitally!) to support frontline workers.
2. [ [link removed] ]Record a video in support of essential workers. Record your video
and post it to your social media accounts thanking essential workers
and asking their members of Congress to include support for them in
the next package.
3. [ [link removed] ]Tweet at your member of Congress. Fill up the twitter mentions of
your member of Congress to make sure they support relief for essential
workers. We’ve even got some great language already drafted.
4. [ [link removed] ]Call your member of Congress to demand a people-first relief bill.
We can’t afford to wait any longer for Congress to take these
necessary steps; it’s time for your Representative to use their vote
to demand real relief through a People’s Agenda.
Congress continues to debate more relief efforts as the coronavirus
pandemic deepens the health and economic crisis hitting our nation. The
next bill must meet the needs of people and our communities, with an
essential worker bill of rights, and not provide more corporate bailout
funds. Congress should ensure that any taxpayer dollars handed to
corporations go to help workers, not wealthy CEOs, rich shareholders, or
the President’s cronies.
Essential workers cannot wait. There is no time to spare. Thank you for
taking action online today to support essential workers.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
