We are asking all #CaLeg to PASS #SB497 Equal. Pay & Anti-Retaliation Act. Workers have suffered in silence for far too long. Let's #StopRetaliation against folks who stand up for their rights in the workplace.
In California, every worker is entitled to safety and dignity on the job. Our strong workplace protections are meaningless if workers are too afraid to speak up when their rights are violated.
#SB497 will make it easy for a Labor Commissioner to identify retaliation. #CCWP
Yesterday, our resolution calling on the City to explore social housing as a model to ensure safe, healthy, and affordable homes for all residents of Los Angeles passed in Council. 🧵
After passing both the Senate Labor and Judiciary Committees, #SB497 is currently on the Senate Appropriations' suspense file. Join us in asking members of the Appropriations Committee to support SB 497 and pass it to the Senate floor. @SteveBradford@aishabbwahab@Scott_Wiener
CCWP is sponsoring SB 497 the Equal Pay and Anti-Retaliation Act carried by @LolaForSenate and we could not be more excited to strengthen protections for California workers. #labor#equalpay#safety
Veronica came all the way from LA to talk to legislators about her experience with retaliation, and how #SB497 could have made a difference. She also had the opportunity to share her story with Univision. Watch it here:

Thank you Assemblymember @wendycarrillo for hearing and elevating the voices of California’s low wage workers. We all deserve to know our rights. #cwop
Our Halloween picket two weeks ago in front of Hannam Chain, which continues to refuse to meet workers who demand respect and dignity in their workplace. As we head into the holiday season, support retail workers' struggle against wage theft and exploitation!
Enough votes have been counted, and we can finally say it.
We WON 🎉☑️
From now on, Los Angeles will have around $900 million a year for housing justice because of Measure ULA.
(Continued)
Today’s the day ✊🌧Vote #YesonULA.
Measure ULA is a one-time tax on real estate sales over $5 million dollars to help reduce homelessness and protect seniors from losing their homes.

Korean Americans for @KarenBassLA ALL day long! We need a mayor who understands our issues, whose been an ally long b4 she ran for mayor. KAs know her record of supporting small businesses, bringing Covid relief, partnering w/AAPI nonprofits & her yrs of coalition building.
LA is in the most volatile political season since 1992 & 2020. Impt report released by @StopAAPIHate. We stand w the rest of LA to DEMAND accountability & that no candidate for office EVEN THINK about using the AAPI community as a political weapon! Not now. Not again!
This week has been a stark reminder of what is wrong with LA politics, which is why we want to talk about a chance to do something right for our city (Measure ULA) and who is behind the efforts to stop our ballot measure from passing.
