​While many of us spent the Labor Day weekend recharging and enjoying a much needed break, we want to give a shoutout and thank you to our Day Labor Outreach coordinator Osvaldo and to Tanya for spending their Saturday supporting our amazing day laborers who work tirelessly and don’t have the ease to celebrate this holiday.
They were able to once again responsibly distribute care packages including lunches, hand sanitizer, socks, and also some much needed moral support. We are so grateful to them for work and taking the time to put these packages together, and promoting our culture of love and respect. There is still a low demand for work, and we have seen a significant drop in the amount of them waiting for day jobs. Day laborers’ source of income has suffered greatly with the reduction of traffic throughout home improvement stores, and throughout the county in general. We continue to try to find the best ways to support them wether it be through free remote legal clinics, or finding the most useful items to donate to them. Thanks to Osvaldo’s work on the field, we are able to better cater to the needs of our community, and they know that we will continue to adapt and find ways to better support our day laborers. We thank him for always approaching this community with care and respect, as well as advocating for the needs of a community so beloved to us. We are especially grateful on this holiday dedicated to the American work force, that often overlooks such a critical part of our communities such as them.
