WRITE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
END LABOR APARTHEID – EMANCIPATE FARMWORKERS & DOMESTIC WORKERS
WRITE YOUR LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA NOW !
OUR GOAL – 600 LETTERS – PLEASE DO YOUR PART
Background:
4 MILLION farmworkers and domestic workers are officially excluded from any protections of national labor law – all other workers in our nation have had the protection of law since 1935. Farmworkers and domestic workers live lives of involuntary servitude.
NOW IS THE TIME to reverse 74-years of government-sanctioned racial and economic discrimination – IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
PRESIDENT OBAMA in 2008 spoke these words: “Highly paid lobbyists get access, the rest of us have to write a letter.”
We are NOT highly paid lobbyists so we have no ACCESS, but as Advocates of LABOR JUSTICE who have pledged to speak up for farmworkers and domestic workers, we can WRITE a letter to the President of the United States!
WRITE YOUR LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA NOW !!
Letter-WritingTips:
1. Keep your letter straightforward and to the point – 3 or 4 short paragraphs are perfect.
2. Tell President Obama how strongly you feel about the need to emancipate farmworkers and domestic workers. Speak from your heart.
3. Request a response. (Sample: “please tell me what you plan to do” or similar)
4. Conclude with your name INSIDE the body of the message.
