Dear John,

The so-called Modern Worker Empowerment Act just cleared a key hurdle in Congress, and it’s a corporate power grab designed to turn full-time jobs into unstable gigs with no benefits, no protections, and no accountability. At the center of the lobbying push is DoorDash.

This bill would let companies reclassify more workers as independent contractors, denying them minimum wage guarantees, health care, overtime pay, and union protections. Millions of workers could be pushed into second-class status with no safety net.

DoorDash has invested heavily in lobbying for this outcome. Their business model depends on avoiding basic labor standards, and they are pushing H.R. 1319 to legally cement that advantage. This is about power and profit, not empowerment.

The impact goes beyond delivery drivers. Teachers, nurses, and truckers are all vulnerable to the kind of reclassification this bill promotes. If this bill becomes law, it will shred labor protections for countless Americans.

Call on DoorDash CEO Tony Xu to immediately drop support for H.R. 1319 and publicly commit to respecting worker rights.

Across the country, tech giants like DoorDash are using their influence to rewrite labor laws in their favor. States like Georgia and Wisconsin have already passed copycat laws. If Congress joins in, millions of workers will be left with no voice, no benefits, and no recourse.

We need you in this fight. DoorDash’s reputation depends on public trust. With enough pressure, we can force them to back down.

Workers deserve more than algorithmic exploitation and legal loopholes. They deserve a living wage, job security, health protections, and the freedom to organize without retaliation. What DoorDash is backing with H.R. 1319 is a rollback of workers' rights on a national scale, disguised as flexibility and innovation. That’s a lie, and we won’t let them get away with it.

Tell Tony Xu that this betrayal of workers will not be ignored, tell him to drop support for H.R. 1319 now.

Let’s stand together to defend the rights of all workers and stop this corporate assault on labor.
