➡️ Require contracts between domestic workers and their employers.
➡️ Include domestic workers in DC’s occupational health and safety law.
➡️ Create a Domestic Work Outreach and Education program.

In 2019, I joined my @HouseDemocrats colleagues on a single mission: To fight #ForThePeople. We passed 400+ bills, including 275+ bipartisan bills that @senatemajldr refuses to act on, and we fought to hold this Administration accountable for its corruption. A few highlights:
We took on the corrupt role of money in our politics & passed the #ForThePeople Act. This bill included my Democracy Dollars Act to pilot nationally the Seattle program that allows people to use vouchers to make small-dollar political contributions. jayapal.house.gov/2019/03/08/h-r…
I, along w/@RepAdamSmith, introduced the #DignityForDetainedImmigrants Act—w/138 cosponsors—to end mandatory detention, protect asylum-seekers & other vulnerable populations, eliminate the for-profit prison system, & ensure immigrants are treated with dignity.
