Hey Team, today is Labor Day, a day we set aside to celebrate the labor movement, and all American workers. And this year, that cause is more important than ever.

COVID-19 has upended our labor force -- tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs, some are adjusting to a new, virtual workspace, and others continue to go to work everyday, risking their lives to keep our great nation running.

To all our workers, America owes you a great debt. And it is time to ensure that every worker in our country is afforded the dignity, respect, and rights that they deserve -- that means a living wage, hazard pay, unemployment benefits, affordable healthcare, and more.

I know this is an incredibly difficult time for many. It's why I am more committed than ever to defend and uplift our working class families. I am proud to be a strong voice advocating for our country's working families in Congress, and I'll never stop stepping up to support our workers.

I'm grateful to those who continue to keep our country running, even during a pandemic. And I'm thankful for those who, throughout history, have fought for fairer, safer workplaces so that we all may benefit. Today, let's honor the sacrifices American workers have made and continue to make. Tomorrow, let's get back to work protecting them and their rights.

Friends, Happy Labor Day to you and your family! Be safe.

In service,



Congressman Gerry Connolly
Virginia's 11th District----
