[1]Women's March
This Labor Day hits differently than others,
John.
Labor Day is a celebration of our nation’s workers and labor movement,
which has been on the frontlines of the fight for a living wage, critical
workplace protections, and economic equality for generations.
This year especially, we want to honor the workers who have always been
essential, and who have stepped up to support our communities during
COVID-19.

During this pandemic, the importance and sacrifice of our essential
workers has never been more clear. And yet, millions of workers have been
forced to risk their health and the health of their loved ones at the
hands of their employers. Nurses are still not being given the protections
they need and teachers are being forced back into classrooms – just to
name a few.
Meanwhile, this pandemic has exacerbated deeply entrenched injustices and
inequalities that have long existed in our country. While 40 million
people have lost their jobs, those at the very top have only gotten
richer.^1
We’ve been fighting for protections for nurses and legislation like the
HEROES Act and Essential Worker Bill of Rights to give women and working
families the relief they deserve. But we must do more.
It’s time that we treat our essential workers as essential – that means a
living wage, paid family leave, health care, workplace protections, paid
sick leave, and more.

harder than ever for the rights of all workers.
In solidarity,
Women’s March Team
