Did you know? NJ’s half million undocumented immigrants and their 200,000 family members have been #LeftBehind by government aid, despite being essential workers.
Our communities can’t wait.

We can’t work like this. This is why more than 300 Amazon workers across the country are calling out of work TODAY.
Amazon must make the necessary changes to put our health and safety first during this pandemic! 2/2

🚨 Join us to #CallOutAmazon 🚨
Amazon has disregarded our safety throughout this pandemic, keeping facilities open where there have been positive cases and not providing us with enough cleaning supplies to keep us safe. 1/2

2 Walmart workers died last week because of Coronavirus.
On this #WorldHealthDay we ask you to support the thousands of Walmart associates around the country, who stand are the front lines risking their health to keep shelves stocked and stores running. united4respect.org/governors…

Two of us already died from COVID-19 in Illinois.
If Walmart does not take our safety more seriously, those won’t be the last deaths.
Ask your Governor to force Walmart to control the coronavirus outbreak at its stores.

NYC fast food workers need protections like the #FairWorkweek law and access to paid sick leave now more than ever. We will not let workers pay the price of the #COVID19 crisis while billion-dollar corporations are getting bailouts.

If you’ve clapped this week to appreciate restaurant & grocery workers, this is for you.
The National Restaurant Association & some politicians are cynically pushing to suspend NYC’s “fair work week” law, which gives basic protections to these workers.
We can't let it happen.

NYC cannot roll back labor standards during this crisis. Fast food & retail workers are risking it all. Making them bear the cost of uncertainty while chains like McDonald’s and Chipotle get a pass to break the rules is unthinkable.

Walmart’s COVID-19 emergency policy falls short of the #PaidLeave policy that’s needed to protect employees and customers.
Corporations are risking the health of families and entire communities.
We won't be #LeftBehind, we deserve #PaidLeave now! huffpost.com/entry/walmarts-…

Gig economy workers struggle to make ends meet on a regular day.
"I can’t self-quarantine because not working is not an option. If I don’t make enough money, I can’t feed my children for the next six weeks."
We deserve a #FairWorkweek

People working on retail deserve access to a sick time policy they can count on.
Now more than ever, working families health and well being is at stake!
We deserve better, we don’t want to be #LeftBehind

🚨We are being #LeftBehind🚨
80% of retail workers are being left out from The House’s #COVID19 “relief” bill
Trump INTENTIONALLY made sure to exclude working people in large corporations from this bill, when working families DESERVE access to sick time policy more than ever

🚨HUGE VICTORY🚨
After launching our campaign yesterday asking Walmart to publicly commit to step up to the #coronavirus crisis, Walmart has announced an “emergency employee leave program” by waiving its broken attendance policy through the end of April.
