Houston Campaigns:

• Always Essential Campaign

  Always Essential is working people, activists, and organizations joining together to transform what’s possible for essential workers — especially those in low-wage sectors who are disproportionately Black and other workers of color. We are working in cities, counties, states, and at the federal level to put essential workers first and build the lasting change we want to see. Together, we can and will win improve health and safety standards, better pay, and working conditions for essential workers.
