Laughing is essential to life. If you need some good chuckles, stick around. You won't be disappointed.

We cannot rebuild our economy with a broken #unemployment system.

The Senate's budget resolution MUST include funding to #FixUI and extend benefits.

@SenSanders @SenSchumer @RonWyden you know UI is broken, and we won't have another chance to fix it. We are counting on you.

There are certainly a lot of anecdotal reports right now of employers not being able to find the workers they need, particularly in restaurants. But unemployment is still very elevated—particularly among restaurant workers. What’s going on? 1/

President Biden is calling on Congress for long-overdue reforms to the country’s outdated unemployment insurance (UI) system so that people out of work through no fault of their own get the help they and their families need to tide them over until they can get back to work. 1/12

Workers deserve a voice in UI reform through a permanent oversight board to advise the Department of Labor made up of people who have actually been on unemployment #FixUI #BuildBackBetter @potus @joebiden @whitehousecea @vp @BrianDeeseNEC @AmbRice46

Unemployed workers livable benefits. Average worker = 70% of their earnings Low Wage workers = 85% their earnings w/ $250 minimum national benefit #FixUI #FundExcludedWorkers #BuildBackBetter #FederalizeUI

[Unemployed Action @unemployedact]

Unemployment Insurance is key to a functioning economy. But UI failed people in need & would have been far worse without CARES.

UI reform must be included in the America Rescue Plan. #FixUI #BuildBackBetter

[Paul Sonn @paulsonn]

NY is the only state that strips unemployment benefits from jobless workers who return to work part-time (because they can't find full-time work). Pls urge @NYGovCuomo to fix this unfair rule that hurts more than 500,000 NYers every week.

Millions of Americans faced unprecedented insecurity and loss last year. For many that came in the form of unemployment. What is your unemployment story? Change will come from sharing our voices with those in power. #FixUI https://t.co/g1qpCUYD71

[National Employment Law Project @NelpNews]

1/4 US workers got UI during #COVID19. We're still suffering the consequences of an inequitable UI system that doesn't pay enough or on time. Many more were excluded. Any promises to #BuildBackBetter ring hollow unless @JoeBiden @potus commits to #FixUI in #AmericanFamiliesPlan

[Popular Democracy💥 @popdemoc]

The unemployment insurance system was designed to exclude workers of color and to devalue low-wage work.

To #FixUI, we must:
✔️Include ALL workers in UI
✔️Give workers a voice
✔️Pay benefits workers can survive on.

Demand Congress take action now ➡️

New data reveals that more than 70% of UI dollars during the pandemic have come from emergency federal programs to prop up the inadequate state-run UI systems.

Without CARES we - and the whole economy - would have been screwed. It's time to #FixUI (7/7)

Working families don’t need a patchwork of unemployment insurance systems.

That’s a safety net with too many holes #FixUI #FundExcludedWorkers #BuildBackBetter
