On Workers Memorial Day 2020, as the pandemic was rapidly spreading, we announced our Protein Processing Worker Project (PPP)<\/strong>, a collective effort to ensure that workers with limited knowledge of English had access to accurate information about COVID-19, their rights, and how to protect themselves from communicable diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are proud to share with you our second year impact report<\/strong> which details our partnership-based model and the incredible results we achieved alongside our 13 partner organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both in-person and online, we helped workers defend their rights, protect their health and access vaccines, testing, and vital information about their right to a healthy and safe workplace. In the project\u2019s second year alone we reached 271,800+ workers and community members<\/strong> across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging the knowledge and resources of our partner organizations and expertise of processing workers, our efforts supported more than 500 community events and activities, delivered information and resources to 110,500+ workers and their communities in person, and reached 161,000+<\/strong> more through digital and online multimedia resources and programs in Spanish, English, Haitian Creole, Mixtec and other indigenous languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read more about the project\u2019s incredible impact in our Year Two Impact Report here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fighting for all workers\u2019 right to a healthy and safe workplace has been a priority for CDM since its foundation in 2005. The PPP project has allowed us to further this effort through a targeted campaign for protein processing industry workers and their communities. Now, as the Biden administration prepares to end the COVID-19 emergency declarations next month, it is more important than ever to continue to prioritize frontline workers\u2019 health and strengthen occupational health and safety for migrant workers<\/strong> through the next phase of the pandemic and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important lessons we learned from the COVID pandemic is that workers\u2019 health IS public health.<\/strong> As such, we must keep working together to ensure that workers not only know their rights, but also feel protected when exercising those rights to health and safety, without a fear of retaliation. Will you join us in defending whistleblowers and workers standing up for their rights and seeking fair working conditions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
