Dear Friends and Colleagues, This message is from Bend the Arc: It is vital that you call Governor Brown and make your voice heard in support of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. The deadline for his signature to make this bill into law is just around the corner on September 30. Bend the Arc and our coalition partners are making calls to the Governor's office so he hears a continuous stream of supportive voices from his constituents, meaning all of us! Please take this small step and make a great impact . call the Governor.s office and to urge him to sign AB899 so domestic workers have the same respect and rights we all deserve. (See sample script below.) Make a call to Governor (D-California) Edmund 'Jerry' G. Brown Jr.'s Office Phone: (916) 445-2841 Sample Script My name is _______ and I am a member of Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice. I am calling today to urge Governor Brown to pass AB 889, the California Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. Over 200,000 domestic workers in California are excluded from the basic labor rights and protections that all other workers enjoy. Domestic workers take care of what we value most, our loved ones and homes. It is because of the labor of domestic workers that all other work is possible. The Governor has the opportunity to end the exclusion of domestic workers and to right this historic wrong. I hope he will support AB 889. ### ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
