July 22 National Day of Action: Pass the HEROES Act!

On July 22, the AFL-CIO is leading a national call-in day to demand that the Senate take up the HEROES Act.

Working people need safe jobs, economic security and freedom from systemic racism. Delivering on economic essentials included in the HEROES Act is an absolute minimum requirement for stopping the free fall into even deeper and deadly racial inequality.
