This is a virtual event

We are restaurant, hospitality and service industry workers, the unemployed, and their allies. The pandemic is getting worse, not better. Our industry is unsafe and not coming back. Many of us don’t have insurance or savings because our jobs were already precarious. Now, the CEOs and billionaires want to take away our only lifeline. They’re telling Congress to let our $600 federal unemployment benefits expire. They don’t care if we live or die, so long as they make a profit. It's time that we, the workers, unite to build the power necessary to have our basic needs met!

Join us this Friday, July 24th, and jam the phone lines of Sen. Cornyn’s Austin and DC offices, demanding that he vote to extend the $600 unemployment benefits! This action will support a rally and march starting at Cornyn's office at 5pm on Friday at 221 W 6th St.
