The ongoing COVID pandemic has upended and
exposed inequalities in our country.

Just a few months ago, the people who prepare our food, clean
our offices, and deliver our packages were called "service
workers" -- but as the public health crisis worsened, they became
"essential workers."

It's become very clear that our country cannot function without
them -- they are essential. Yet our country refuses to treat
their lives as such. Essential workers have been denied a livable
wage and access to quality healthcare and often cannot afford to
live in the city which they work. They are being denied the
unalienable rights this country promises all. That's
unacceptable. That's a failure of our system.

The HEROES Act that I voted to pass in the House will be up for a
vote in the Senate in the weeks ahead. This package includes
relief and hazard pay for essential workers.

Join me in demanding we pass the HEROES act and provide relief
and hazard pay for essential workers.

STAND WITH ESSENTIAL WORKERS

If we say workers are essential, then we must treat them as
such. COVID frontline workers don't have the luxury of staying
home -- they put their lives on the line every day just to keep
our country running on the most fundamental levels.

Essential workers shouldn't have to worry about how they'll put
food on the table, pay for care if they get sick, or pay other
essential living expenses while they are making such massive
sacrifices for the rest of us.

Getting through this crisis is an enormous challenge, but we
know we can't do it without protecting and valuing the lives of
those who make it possible. They've fought on the frontlines for
us -- now we must fight for them. Will you sign on to demand
hazard pay for essential workers and give them wages they
deserve?

Thanks for taking a stand.
