Hey!
I don’t know if you’ve been following it, but there’s a serious crisis going on with food production workers and their safety in Iowa and around America. Meat packing workers are being forced to come to work without proper safety equipment (no issued masks, they have to bring their own) and are being prevented from taking unemployment benefits if they feel unsafe. Worse still, Trump has used the Defense Production Act to force packing plants to stay open.
Workers don’t deserve these conditions, and especially as a Vegan, we constantly advocate for not only Animal Rights, but Human Rights in such workplaces. If enough hair is raised about this, it’s possible we could see reform in these environments that lasts beyond the span of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
I’m working with a group of people who are trying to get the word out and bring attention to this issue. We’re trying to spread this via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and wherever we can.
Let's all encourage others to put people before profits and use the hashtag #StandWithWorkers today.
