Respect Georgia Workers Alliance

The need for strong workplace anti-harassment laws in Georgia is clear and urgent. The COVID-19
pandemic unleashed an economic recession that is hitting women hardest, with especially high levels of
job loss for Black women and Latinas. Workers are more desperate to keep a paycheck at any cost and
less willing to report workplace abuses, increasing their vulnerability to harassment, discrimination, exploitation, abuse, and retaliation at work.

The Respect Georgia Workers Alliance works to realize workplaces free from discrimination and harassment in Georgia. We do this work through:
  • building power with those directly impacted by these issues
  • educating our community on their current rights and the need for more protections
  • advocating for needed policies to ensure safe and respectful workplaces.
