Honored to share the 2021 Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labor with @ilo @GuyRyder. Thank you, @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh, for this recognition. I also want to share this award with the countless people around the world who fight to end all exploitation. In solidarity!

HAPPENING NOW: Tune in to our webinar on the rise of U.S. child labor, and how we can fight back.

Hear from our panel of experts @profsheena, @nfloresy, @jensherer, @nina_mast, & @TerriGerstein: https://t.co/2ZY6CxsGJi

[Committee on Education & Workforce Democrats @EdWorkforceDems]

The H-2A visa program should not be used to exploit workers.

@USDOL’s latest proposed rule will help raise migrant workers wages and protect the wages of American workers.

Why are states loosening child labor laws? @roywoodjr hears from NYT journalist Hannah Dreier and @nfloresy of Justice for Migrant Women in the latest Beyond the Scenes

U.S. Senate bill aims to bar child labor violators from some federal contracts Thanks @SenatorBooker ! We hope someone from @USProgressives will intro a House version. The Child Labor Coalition endorses this legislation.

"Opinion -- The rollback in child labor laws is disgraceful — and short-sighted." Great editorial by the WaPOST editorial board. Please help spread the word with your retweet. @SolidarityCntr @FreeEveryChild @MargaretWurth @jobeckerhrw @nfloresy

"Women experience delays in accessing diagnosis and treatment. This is about how women are perceived in society. There’s a bias in our care, and we need to do better when it comes to both biological differences and how we are seen in society." – @DrMarthaGulati #ACC23 #WCCardio

Eva represented the best and the brightest our farmworker community has to offer. She left a huge impact on all who met her, and made a difference in countless lives during her short time with us. We mourn her death and will honor her memory by continuing the work she started. 💗

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Please join me in honoring the life of Eva Alvarez as we share our condolences with her family and loved ones.

Eva’s sudden passing will be felt deeply by all of our communities. May she rest in power.

[Margaret Wurth @MargaretWurth]

In the pile of unfinished business @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh leaves for his successor is a long overdue regulatory change to protect children hired to work in US agriculture.

The next labor secretary should protect child farmworkers. My new piece in @thehill https://t.co/F0JjOrXiFs

“Conflating the public health crisis of fentanyl w/ the humanitarian crisis of migrants coming to our border seeking safety is a cheap political trick to use a serious public health crisis as justification to waste public resources on ineffective border policies.” @RochelleMGarza

[Julio Ricardo Varela @julito77]

Just reminding everyone that it is still perfectly legal for someone to present themself at the border and seek asylum. You don't need an app for that.

I also haven't seen any migrant rights group applaud Biden's Thursday speech.

Insulin should be free.

Congress has been trying to fix this for nearly 30 years and we have been helping them. Some day we will succeed!

[Rep. Sylvia Garcia @RepSylviaGarcia]

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day.

Which is the date Latinas must work into the new year to make what White non-Hispanic men had made by the end of the previous year.

Ya basta — Latinas deserve equal pay for equal work.

[MAKERS @MAKERSwomen]

Latina Equal Pay Day is the latest of the seven Equal Pay Days celebrated in the U.S., resulting in an additional 341 days Latinas must work to earn as much as white males did last year.

[Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández @RepTeresaLF]

Mis hermanas in Congress agree - Latinas deserve equal pay NOW. That's why I introduced the #LatinaEqualPayDay Resolution with @SenCortezMasto and @RepBarragan. ❤️👇🏽

[Poderistas @poderistas]

It's Latina Equal Pay Day!⚡️ There are often misunderstandings of what this day represents and we want to set the record straight! Hear from our co-founder and the founder of #LatinaEqualPay Day, @MonicaRamirezOH as she shares what you should know about the existing pay gap.💵

[Justice for Migrant Women @mujerxsrising]

Latinas across all industries and sectors experience the gender wage gap, not just those working in lower paid occupations.

In the US, you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes, but our weak child labor laws allow 12-year-olds to work in toxic tobacco fields where they are exposed to dangerous levels of nicotine. Child tobacco workers get sick.
#HR3865 and #S2044 provides a fix.
