TPS & SSR would allow Pakistani immigrants, incl. students, to work in the US, send relief to families back home, + bolster the larger economy. This is a small gesture towards responsibility for the historical climate crisis + damage the US causes...sign+share 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Did you know domestic workers are the only group of workers still excluded from full protection under the NY State Human Rights law? Call @CarlHeastie urging him to pass A8007/S5064 so domestic workers have the protections they deserve! @HiHemployers @NYDomWkrs @adhikaar @CGA_NPC

The #FundExcludedWorkers victory is a huge labor victory for New Yorkers, and "sets a precedent for excluded workers around the country." Setting the floor of what everyone can achieve.

"Tune out the howls about the new Excluded Workers Fund being an insult to American citizens or a windfall to the unworthy; this is what economic fairness looks like."

#FundExcludedWorkers means a full fridge. It means school supplies. It means justice.

A place to call a home is vital for everyone. Pandemic conditions have taken a toll on poor+working class immigrants, women + young people.

Who has a safe place to live? How are we keeping each other safe in our communities?

Women excluded workers labor to provide critical care for families, communities, employers and society at large.

Honoring essential women, essential workers like Sixta means leaving no one behind---a bare minimum for their survival means $3.5 billion for #FundExcludedWorkers.

[New York Communities for Change @nychange]

NYCC members like Sixta, have gone a year w/o any relief. After losing her job as a domestic worker, her only source of income has been collecting empty bottles

One trash bag of bottles only EQUALS $10.

We need @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie 2 hold strong to #FundExcludedWorkers

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Undocumented workers in NY have been on a hunger strike for 17 days. And they’ve been largely ignored by most media.

They’ve been left out of all COVID relief because of their immigration status.

They’re demanding aid for excluded workers be included in @NYGovCuomo’s budget.

[DRUM #CeasefireNow @DesisRisingUp]

Many immigrant women, w/ families + communities they support, have been left out as excluded workers. Enough is enough! Women's labor + dignity must be valued. Demand @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie right the wrong! Include $3.5 billion to #FUNDEXCLUDEDWORKERS now!

Victor & Ana w/ @nychange, Rubiela w/ @MaketheRoadNY, @Jawanza w/ @VOCALNewYork, @CnDelarosa, @JuliaCarmel__ & @JabariBrisport call on NYS to #InvestInOurNY.

NYS can & must secure the $3.5 billion needed to fully #FundExcludedWorkers!

[DRUM #CeasefireNow @DesisRisingUp]

The one-house budget from the @NYSenDems is the floor, not the ceiling. We need @AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie to leverage their supermajorities, break with @NYGovCuomo, & deliver a just + equitable budget for working class communities! #TaxTheRich #InvestInOurNY #CancelRent
