John -- It’s Labor Day 2021, and workers in this country are in a state of emergency.

As Hurricane Ida flooded New York and New Jersey a few days ago, images of gig economy workers working through the storm were circulating on social media.

Take a look at this GrubHub driver wading through waist-high water to deliver a meal while the water was rising.

John, this is not noble. This is not courageous. This is a gig economy worker being forced to put their life in danger because they can’t afford to miss a day of work -- not even for a hurricane.

In the last few days we’ve seen the pandemic unemployment benefits expire and the eviction moratorium be struck down once again. And Congress did nothing to intervene.

It’s time Congress acted like we are in crisis because this pandemic is not over.

Brand New Congress reps like Cori Bush and AOC are leading the charge from Washington, but they need backup.

That’s why we are working urgently to elect a new generation of working-class leaders to join them. Will you support our crucial work with a $27 contribution today?

There is a LOT that Congress can and should be doing to better support workers -- starting with passing a living wage, strengthening union protections, and guaranteeing paid family leave and sick leave.

Congress isn’t getting the job done, so we need to elect the entire BNC 2022 slate -- especially our Senate candidates -- to fight for workers.

Join us, and let’s elect a Brand New Congress in 2022.

In solidarity,

The entire team at Brand New Congress
