Amid the ongoing social and economic crises, Governor Gavin Newsom has a chance to defend hospitality workers across California by signing?AB?3216?into law.?The bill, which has passed both houses of the state legislature, would give hospitality workers the "Right of Recall" -- the opportunity to return to their workplaces by seniority when the work returns, instead of potentially being passed over for younger, cheaper labor.

But time is running out -- Governor Newsom has until tomorrow evening (Wednesday 9/30) to sign the bill, and he's being pressured by the hotel industry not to do so.??

As a result, hospitality workers and clergy from around the state have began caravans to the state capitol last week, and have just launched a hunger strike as well, and have been doing daily delegations to visit Governor Newsom. Last week workers? delivered a letter from over 50 members of Jesuit West province demanding the passage of AB 3216, and?the workers' fight has been covered in the Jesuit publication, America Magazine, but still no movement from our Governor.

As a result we need everyone's help?TODAY, Tues 9/29:
