PFAW Member,
Harassers and manipulators have used power and privilege to escape consequences for far too long, and working people have suffered. But we can change that.
The Bringing an End to Harassment by Enhancing Accountability and Rejecting Discrimination (BE HEARD) in the Workplace Act is the first comprehensive federal legislation that would fix our broken laws to prevent workplace harassment and abuse -- and ensure all of us are protected from harassment on the job, no matter who we are or where we work.
Working people have fought for years to address the power disparities and exploitative working conditions that have allowed harassment, assault, and discrimination to persist in the workplace. These movements for change have been led by courageous women who have for too long endured harassment and violence at work, including women of color, Indigenous women, immigrants, and women in low-wage jobs -- who are especially impacted.
The BE HEARD in the Workplace Act would bring us much closer to the world we all deserve, where all of us can work with equality, safety, and dignity on the job. For the first time, we would expand anti-harassment and civil rights protections to all working people, including workers at small businesses, independent contractors, unpaid interns, volunteers, and trainees.
This bill will benefit working people nationwide, across all industries and occupations. It’s what we all deserve.
We’ve come so far, and we need an even bigger movement to make sure that Congress acts to pass this bold new bill. Together, let’s end workplace harassment and discrimination.
Don't wait: urge your representative to cosponsor the BE HEARD Act and support its passage>>
Thank you,
- Zach, PFAW
