Millions of workers are at risk for contracting COVID-19 each day, yet are deemed as essential. Every day these proud workers face the fear and uncertainty of potential exposure, yet take pride in providing essential services to their fellow American citizens. What do we ask of their employers during this time?

We demand that all businesses deemed essential operate as nonprofits for the duration of this pandemic. No company should profit while risking the health and well-being of their employees. We call on all companies to voluntarily agree to these changes, with stiff penalties for non-compliance.

We call on President Trump and the national leaders of our country in the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate to live up to moment and prevent any company, large or small, from making money off the hardship and sacrifice of their own essential workers. All profits must go to benefit those in need: the hungry, the poor and above all else, the workers.
