Remember how we fought for 5 years to win a historic #DomesticWorkersBillofRights to protect domestic workers in DC? Well this past Sunday, it finally went into effect!

Domestic workers are officially no longer the only group of workers excluded from DC's human rights law!!

[Beloved Community Incubator @DC_BCI]

As of October 1st, 2023, The Street Vendor Advancement Amendment Act of 2023 is fully in effect! This historic victory is the result of five years of organizing by Vendedores Unidos/Vendors United (VU) and Beloved Community Incubator. Today, we celebrate!

The @JoeBiden admin must now do the same for Salvadorans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans & Guatemalans. Political crises linked to U.S. political and economic intervention, are not exclusive to Venezuela!

Greetings everyone!
This year has been really busy for Trabajadores Unidos. Here is some of the hightlights.

[Sanctuary DMV @SanctuaryDMV]

@AnitaBondsDC Without ID you can’t
👉🏽 open a bank account
👉🏽 sign a lease in many cases
👉🏽 get married
👉🏽 get a birth certificate for your child
👉🏽 access many community resources

It even affects your ability complete your application for immigration relief. 6/

[Sanctuary DMV @SanctuaryDMV]

@AnitaBondsDC This bill would have helped migrants bused here to obtain DC IDs. CBP confiscates their identity docs at the border so they are unable to provide the regular docs required to get a limited purpose ID.

Some folks have been here since April 2022 and still can’t get IDs in DC! 5/

[Sanctuary DMV @SanctuaryDMV]

We are really disappointed that the Limited Purpose Credential Clarification Emergency Amendment Act had to be withdrawn today because of an egregious budget veto by @DCHumanServ.

Thank you @charlesallen, @CMRobertWhiteDC, and staff for working with us on the bill. 1/

[NDLON @NDLON]

There is much that local/state govt can do to confront rampant workplace abuse facing undocumented workers and to ensure new fed policies are implemented locally!

Today’s announcement by the NYS Governor is a step in the right direction.

El Código Púrpura significa que todos los grupos deben permanecer en el interior tanto como sea posible. Aquellos que deben trabajar al aire libre deben reducir el trabajo al aire libre si es posible y, si no, usar una máscara (equivalente a N95 o K95). 3/3

Excluded workers stand in the council chambers as the council votes on whether they commit to using any excess revenue that comes in to support an increase in SNAP benefits and the $20M that was brutally swiped from excluded workers. #NoMeExcluyas

[Excluded Workers DC @DontExcludeMeDC]

Today the Coucil is voting on the FY23 Supplemental Budget emergency bill! The Council has yet to keep their promise to excluded workers!

If you haven’t already, please email @ChmnMendelson and tell him to not exclude Excluded Workers again: https://t.co/gNQcw18zuL

[Excluded Workers DC @DontExcludeMeDC]

Good morning @councilofdc! DC’s Excluded Workers are here to say: you’re letting @MayorBowser steal $20 million from excluded workers that you promised them in the FY23 budget, LAST YEAR!! Keep your promise and #DontExcludeMe #StopTheSwipe #NoMeExcluyas

Closing this week with deep gratitude to @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @BrianneKNadeau & @CMRobertWhiteDC who each funded the #DCDomesticWorkersBillofRights in their committees. With funds, this law has the power to transform the working conditions of the 9,000 domestic workers in our city.

[NDLON @NDLON]

Today is #WorkersMemorialDay2023, when we remember and honor workers who have died, including the thousands we lost to the pandemic.

We demand for answers and for action to be taken to ensure their lives are not forgotten. #BidenFight4TheLiving
