Dear John,

Congress is reintroducing the BE HEARD in the Workplace Act , the first comprehensive federal legislation that helps prevent workplace harassment, abuse, and discrimination. This bill would ensure all of us are protected from harassment on the job, no matter who we are or where we work . During the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve seen work environments become increasingly dangerous for workers, especially for women, as the economic crisis has only led to more abuse by employers. We need legislation that can help protect workers nationally. Tell Congress to fight for workers, and fight for women and their families, by supporting the BE HEARD in the Workplace Act NOW!

TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]

The BE HEARD in the Workplace Act would close the gaps in existing law, ensuring that all working people have the right to work with safety and dignity by:

*Extending federal laws against workplace harassment and other forms of discrimination to cover all workers, regardless of the size of their workplace.
*Extending federal laws against workplace harassment and other forms of discrimination to cover independent contractors, interns, fellows, volunteers, and trainees.
*Clarifying that unlawful sex discrimination at work includes harassment and other forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The BE HEARD in the Workplace Act would benefit working people nationwide across all industries and occupations. It’s time to bring us closer to the world we all deserve, where all of us can work with equality, safety, and dignity on the job.

In solidarity,
