Coronavirus Campaigning

We are dealing with the most devastating global pandemic of our lifetimes—and while we cannot organize in person, we can mobilize in digital spaces to protect people's health, push for paid sick leave and other relief, and show up for those who are taking care of our communities by providing essential needs.

If you feel inspired, start a petition today on an issue affecting your community or find and take action on an existing campaign.

  • Gig economy companies: Give workers paid sick days to combat coronavirus
    As the coronavirus outbreak continues to grow, gig economy corporations that retain workers as independent contractors have a particular responsibility to their workers, their customers, and to the broader public. Food delivery workers, for-hire vehicle drivers, and others working in the gig economy are particularly vulnerable to the health and economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak. Gig workers who drive cars, deliver food orders, or clean homes do work that entails near-constant interaction with people in public spaces, putting them at greater risk for exposure to coronavirus and other illnesses. Yet as independent contractors, your workers do not receive any paid sick leave or have access to employer-backed health insurance. As a result, they often cannot afford to stay home if they or a family member is sick, and they are much less likely to receive quality healthcare. It is incumbent on you to take steps to protect your workforce, your customers, and the broader public from the spread of the virus -- beginning with providing paid sick days to your workers during this public health crisis. We commend steps that Uber, Lyft, Postmates and others have announced to support workers infected with the coronavirus, but more is needed to protect all workers and contain the spread of the virus. We join with calls from Working Washington and Gig Workers Rising in calling on your companies to: -Provide your contract workers with paid sick time, equivalent to what they would have if they were employees. -Provide workers with free hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and/or any other resources they may need to keep themselves and their vehicles virus-free. -Be transparent with workers about risks as you learn about them, and about any steps being taken to keep workers and customers safe. -Suspend the practice of penalizing workers for missing scheduled blocks of work, ending shifts early, or rejecting jobs. -Pay workers their average weekly income if they are prevented from working due to a recommendation by public health authorities to temporarily quarantine them due to exposure that occurred while working. -Encourage workers to leave deliveries at the door rather than make them face-to-face, and disable any rating systems that penalize workers for doing so. -Agree to let workers collect unemployment benefits if they are unable to work due to coronavirus or coronavirus response. -Provide workers the option to receive an advance on their future earnings in order to replace lost income associated with coronavirus. -Not permanently deactivate workers who happen to contract coronavirus. -Take affirmative steps to oppose any form of discrimination or harassment based on race, national origin, or anything else. We urge you to take immediate steps to protect your workers and the general public during this public health crisis.

  • COVID 19 Emergency Rent, Mortgage, Loan, Debt Stay
    It’s imperative we protect the well being of the American people, whether that be physically, mentally and/or financially in this time of crises. A lot of families have been disrupted financially due to this crises being left without jobs, transportations, baby sitters, etc. hence making it a financial burden to meet their monthly bill requirements which can lead to emotional/mental distress from the fear of losing homes and possessions, not being able provide proper health to their family members due to not of their own fault. I think we can all agree it is should be the priority of the American people to protect the American people in this unknown times. Only together can we prevent from this crises from causing more than necessary hardships to out brothers and sisters. Who will pay for this? As mentioned before we are not asking for a “forgiveness” but rather a law or guideline that protects us for the time being until all order can be restored to normal. And if necessary said financial institutions, lease holders, etc., can file for their own relief and be accommodated quicker as a corporation than a American as an individual.

  • COVID19- Emergency Rent and Debt Forgiveness
    On March 17, 2020 Gov. Roy Cooper announced an executive order to all restaurants and bars to close for dine-in customer. As a restaurant / bar workers of Winston Salem have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and wellbeing. Rentors, Leasors, Banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relied; the sate and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately.

  • Shelter in place orders now!
    The coronavirus is a pandemic emergency and should be considered a national emergency in the United States. The piecemeal attempts to control the spread by local or scattered state mandates is not effective. The whole nation must be involved. The coronavirus does not respect borders. If the national government refuses to make the guidelines a national mandate, we need to pressure the state governors into doing that for it. We are all in this together.

  • Mr. Moynihan - Stop Blocking BofA Small Businesses Clients from the Paycheck Protection Program
    Small businesses are the engine of our economy. In many communities small businesses are the largest employer and the lifeblood of the community. We create meaningful jobs and opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive. By unilaterally requiring that your small business clients have pre-existing lending relationships with Bank of America you are putting up unnecessary roadblocks to saving jobs and saving communities from devastation. Worse, this practice may even be discriminatory, as it may impact black, Latino, Asian, and Native American business owners disproportionately, who are more likely to have been denied access loans due to historic and current red-lining practices and institutional racism. The Paycheck Protection Program was designed to provide forgivable loans to Small Businesses to keep people employed during this time of emergency. In determining clients of Bank of America's eligibility for these lifeline loans, you have instituted an unnecessary pre-existing lending client requirement that is preventing many desperate smaller businesses and nonprofits from even applying for PPP. We all need to come together at times like this, not put up barriers to resources. You have the power to eliminate this arbitrary requirement and we ask you to step in and address this issue with the urgency the present emergency demands.
