Dear @SenSchumer & @SpeakerPelosi,
For years freelancers have seen our rights, pay, and benefits cut away into nothing.
Enough.
We're taking the #NoCutsChallenge to prevent cuts to the #PROAct, to #GreenNewSchools funding, and the rest of the Build Back Better Act. Join us.
Anti-PRO Act freelancers in disarray: New data shows that the overwhelming majority of gig workers, and a super majority of all non-white gig workers, want to be regular employees.
Btw you know who else says this? A Senator named @MarkWarner.
If he wants "practical solutions to make the on-demand economy work better for us," what's more practical than a bill that's:
☑️Wildly popular
☑️Just 3 votes from a majority
☑️Demanded by @POTUS
Just #PassThePROAct!
Nearly 60 million US workers are Independent Contractors.
60 million lacking basic worker protections.
@MarkWarner, whether we work 9-5 or on flexible schedules; at home or through an app; for one employer or 20, we all deserve the rights the #PROact brings. And we demand them.
Yes! Transparency on all levels is deeply lacking in most fields, especially the arts. Dancers are often trained to stay silent, and to that we say: No longer!!
Most of us in the other groups had no idea of the dangers dancers were facing industrywide before this call!
And that's yet another crucial protection the #PROAct will bring us: the right to publicly discuss wages and working conditions without getting fired.
Yes we did, and yes we are. It is unacceptable how unprotected and unsupported most dance workers are, even the supposedly “good jobs” are not adequate. We must Pass the #ProAct so we can rise up together to change the field from the “bottom” up.

Please read this whole thread with freelancers and gig workers from multiple industries demanding we Pass the #PROAct
All workers deserve the right to collectively bargain and strike in solidarity with other workers. The #PROAct is key for the future of fair labor law & practice
All workers should have the right to organize! Freelancers overwhelmingly support the PRO Act from both sides of the aisle! Help us flip not only @MarkWarner but @SenMarkKelly and @SenatorSinema by signing up at https://t.co/xTmG1cwdMY !
So whatever kind of worker you are, if you're reading, join the fight to #PassThePROAct now.
Our first 500,000 calls flipped two senators to support the #PROAct. Let's see how many more we can get with a million.
