USA: AFL-CIO Workers Memorial Day Toolkit/Resources

OBSERVE WORKERS MEMORIAL DAY APRIL 28

OBSERVA EL DÍA CONMEMORATIVO DEL TRABAJADOR CAÍDO 28 DE ABRIL

The AFL-CIO has released two new resources to help workers, unions and others prepare for commemorating Workers Memorial Day, April 28 — on the day itself and the weeks before and following:

1) Our Workers Memorial Day toolkit now can be found at: http://aflcio.org/2020-wmd-toolkit. This includes talking points, information on WMD events and actions, the Trump administration’s record on COVID-19 and other S&H issues, COVID-19 facts, national and state level data and other S&H facts, a flyer on emergency infectious disease standards, sample OpEds, LTEs, advisories and event releases…

2) Digital graphics for sharing around Workers Memorial Day: go.aflcio.org/-2020-graphics

As a reminder, all of the WMD artwork and other materials for download can be found here: aflcio.org/workersmemorialday

And please encourage everyone to submit their WMD events and actions here: go.aflcio.org/wmd2020

Please continue to distribute these widely — to lift up worker safety protections against COVID-19 and other safety hazards this year as we mourn for the dead, fight for the living.
