Friends, Today on Workers Memorial Day, we join with our partners in the labor movement to honor the workers who have died on the job from injury or illness. It's been more than a year since we held the event "Pray for the Dead, Fight Like Hell for the Living," where we released our "In Memoriam" video, produced by Fire Drill Fridays Founder Jane Fonda, in partnership with the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH). The video honors workers who lost their lives to COVID-19. We are saddened for our union partners who have since lost more of their members to the pandemic. We stand in solidarity and compassion with you and the families of those who passed. |
