Petition updateTyson: Stop neglecting workers, animals, and public health!We demand protections NOW.
The Humane League
30 Jul 2020

Today, a coalition of groups including Food Chain Workers Alliance, Union of Concerned Scientists, and HEAL Food Alliance are organizing a National Call-in Day targeting the US Senate, in order to demand immediate protections for meatpacking and other frontline workers. We want to see people, public health, and animals put before profits. If you do too, please join us in completing the following actions!

  • Action 1 - Contact your senator by calling 202-224-3121 to be automatically connected. You can use the following sample script if you’d like:
    Hello, my name is _____. I’m calling from (city, state). I urge Senator ____to pass the COVID-19 Every Worker Protection Act of 2020, which would demand that OSHA issue Emergency Temporary Standards to protect all workers from the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. It is unacceptable that some members of Congress are more concerned with corporate immunity than with the health and safety of our essential workers. I urge you to vote to ensure that OSHA does its job and issues an emergency standard requiring all employers to provide specific and necessary protections for workers.
  • Action 2 - Reply to Tyson Foods’ latest tweet to make sure our collective voices are also heard online.
    Example: I do not trust @TysonFoods. This multi-billion dollar corporation has put profits above animal welfare, our planet, and people for decades! That’s why I signed this petition and urge you to do the same: https://www.change.org/p/tyson-stop-neglecting-workers-animals-and-public-health #TakeOnTyson

Thank you for your continued support of this campaign! Please keep sharing this petition with your family and friends to help spread the word!
