John,

Day after day, our essential workers work in harm's way in order to keep our families and communities safe and healthy.

So this Labor Day weekend, the National Domestic Workers Alliance is teaming up with eight national partners for the Tribute to Essential Workers -- an hour-long broadcast event celebrating Labor Day by paying tribute to the workers risking it all to keep us safe.

The event will feature personal stories of the essential workers, including the many Black and Brown women and immigrants who've lost their lives on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis, and the ones we're still fighting for. There will be musical and comedic performances, live events in cities across the country, and special celebrity guests.

WHEN: Sunday September 6th @ 8pm ET / 5pm PT
WHAT: The Tribute to Essential Workers
WHERE: Live streamed to your home

We know that recognition isn't enough when people are facing unsafe working conditions, PPE shortages, disrespect from entitled customers and employers, and an economy that prioritizes profit over safety and human life.

We need to fight to raise workers' standards, improve safety, and increase worker power in the workplace. We need real action to ensure our essential workers are protected so they can live and work safely and with dignity.

Labor Day is an annual moment to celebrate the victories of worker movements and a time for families to gather for parades and picnics, but this year Labor Day will have to be different due to Covid-19. We may not be together physically, but we have the unique opportunity to finally recognize so many working people who have been invisible for so long.

Join us on Sunday, September 6th to watch performances, hear stories, and honor the working people who have lost their lives to Covid-19 -- and those who are still sacrificing daily so the rest of America can stay home.
