Every year on April 28th, we hold Workers’ Memorial Day<\/strong> to remember the millions of workers who have been injured or killed on the job, acknowledge the suffering experienced by families and communities, and to renew the fight for safe, healthy, and secure workplaces for all workers.<\/p>\n

This year, we are calling on California state leadership and employers to protect workers from COVID-19. We invite you to join us throughout<\/strong> Workers Memorial Week (4\/27 – 5\/1)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to uplift stories through your social media platforms that illustrate how the current health crisis is impacting workers, and exacerbating existing hazards and injustices. Let’s stand together to demand stronger protections for industries across the state now and beyond.
\n<\/strong>
\nParticipate<\/strong> by utilizing<\/strong>\u00a0our Digital Toolkit<\/strong><\/a>, where you’ll find sample hashtags, tweets\/posts, and graphics to upload to your respective social media pages. We also encourage you to repost any Workers Memorial Day content you come across – keep an eye out for other unions and worker centers in our network, who have been collecting stories of workers impacted by COVID-19 over the past few weeks (you can find those organizations listed under “allies to tag” in the toolkit).<\/p>\n

Each day, we will have a theme and related demands to uplift the ways in which workers have been impacted by this crisis and what our state leaders need to do to better protect our communities:<\/p>\n
