Justice for Exploited Children Act

JUSTICE FOR EXPLOITED CHILDREN: Endorsed the Justice for Exploited Children Bill (H.R. 7002) moving towards re-introduction this session. The bipartisan bill would increase child labor fines. Endorsement sent to lead co-sponsors Rep. Scholten (D-MI) and Rep. Mackenzie (R-PA). CODIFY MINIMUM WAGE AND OVERTIME PAY FOR HOME CARE WORKERS: Endorsed Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act (H.R. 7917 / S. 4081), legislation that would permanently secure federal minimum wage and overtime protections for home care workers -- an essential workforce whose labor standards are once again under threat. Following a proposed rule by the Trump administration that would roll back long-standing Department of Labor protections, millions of home care workers could lose their right to fair pay. This bill, led by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Murray, would enshrine these basic labor protections in federal law and ensure these workers are treated with the dignity and fairness they deserve. Endorsement sent to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Murray. HUMAN TRAFFICKING ACTION ALERT: Enhancing Detection of Human Trafficking Act (H.R. 4307) just passed the House and has been received in the Senate. The NAC network was invited to contact U.S. Senate members and ask them to protect vulnerable workers and bring traffickers to justice by quick passage of the Act.
