Thursday, January 3, 12noon-1pm, 250 E. Wilson Bridge Rd., Worthington, Ohio
Meet outside of U.S. Congressional Representative [District 12] Troy Balderson’s office to support H.R. 1, the pro-democracy bill that will be introduced at the beginning of 2019.
January 3 will mark the first day that our new U.S. Congress will be in session, at which time H.R. 1 will be introduced. This wide-ranging bill aims to restore the Voting Rights Act, end voter suppression, eliminate dark money, counter gerrymandering, promote public campaign finance, and strengthen ethical standards in government.
Meet outside of U.S. Congressional Representative [District 12] Troy Balderson’s Columbus office (Tiberi’s old office in Worthington) at 12noon. Bring your “Rally for Democracy” signs and — even more importantly — bring letters asking Troy Balderson to support H.R. 1.
Please invite your friends to join you in letting Troy Balderson know that we care about preserving our democracy.
Hosted by Indivisible: Ohio District 12.

From the National Domestic Workers Alliance: This Critical Bill will Protect Workers

Orange circle with National Domestic Workers Alliance written inside

Every day millions of domestic workers — house cleaners, nannies, eldercare workers, and home health aides — care for our nation’s homes and loved ones. But these domestic workers have been excluded from many of the basic labor protections that other workers are guaranteed.  That’s why the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) — the nation’s leading voice for dignity and fairness for domestic workers — along with Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, just announced the national Domestic Workers Bill of Rights.  This Bill of Rights would close legal loopholes that have historically excluded domestic workers. It would create protections for domestic workers like fair scheduling practices. It would strengthen support networks for domestic workers who are survivors of sexual assault.
