Urge your sentator to vote for domestic workers on June 1st

Dear friends,

As many of you already know, the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is about to come to the Senate floor for a vote. The vote is scheduled for next Tuesday, June 1st. We must put pressure on our legislators now to make sure the bill makes it through the vote.

So, in support of this historic moment, please take a couple of minutes to call your senator, and urge them to vote yes on SB2311D! Become a part of this historic moment.

Here's a sample script you can use:

Hello, my name is _________ and I live in __________, New York. I'm calling to urge Senator __________ to vote YES on SB2311D, the Domestic Worker's Bill of Rights. The Domestic Worker's Bill of Rights is a historic piece of legislation that will provide domestic workers basic labor protections.

If the staffer/aide you are talking to says the senator hasn't decided, here are some talking points.:

-this bill has no fiscal impact on the state, it just reminds employers of their obligations to treat domestic workers with dignity and respect.

-employers and domestic workers support this bill, because it creates standards the employers can easily follow when making the decision to employ a domestic worker

-This bill is the first statewide bill to offer labor protections to domestic workers, and by voting yes, Senator ________ has a chance to be part of history.
