Today continues our week of action to adopt America’s Five Economic Essentials – a comprehensive agenda to address working people’s need for safe jobs, economic security, and freedom from systemic racism. The labor movement continues to amplify the calls for justice and the movement for Black Lives. Delivering these economic essentials is an absolute requirement for social, economic, and racial equality.
