We want to give a special thanks to all attendees and our partners for yesterday’s film screening @sixeyefilms, @resistancecinemaatl, and @atlantaallianc.

It was such a successful day learning in community and discussing the realities of extreme heat for workers in Atlanta and across the country! This is what it looks like when the community shows up for immigrant workers and the rights of all workers. Extreme heat claims the lives of high-hazard, low-wage industry workers around the world every day. Despite heat-stress and heat-related illness posing life-threatening risks for these workers, their employers often refuse to take even the most basic and life-saving precautions, like ensuring proper breaks, clean water, and shade or relief from the heat for their employees. Together, we can move toward a future where a safe and healthy work environment is a reality for all. Which heat stress precaution do you believe employers currently fail to take at the highest rate?
