i don't get stressed easily but this is causing me so much stress.😭 the PRO act threatens people like myself who want to be full-time freelancers. i chose this path because i wanted more freedom in my life. i don't want that taken away! #FightForFreelancers #noproact #freelancer

i really hope the PRO act either doesn't pass or is amended. i'm so upset and scared right now. i don't want to be an employee. i am trying to move away from that. i chose to be independent. #FightForFreelancers #noproact #freelancer #freelancers #proact thehill.com/opinion/financ…

here is more info about how the PRO act hurts freelancers like me. does anyone care about people who WANT to freelance? we chose this! why aren't more people talking about this?! orlandosentinel.com/opinion/guest-… #FightForFreelancers #noproact #freelancer #freelancers #proact

the PRO act is bad for freelancers. i don't want this... i am worried that there will be fewer freelance jobs available because it will be harder for people to hire freelancers! #freelancewriter #freelancewriting #freelancer #FightForFreelancers #noproact jennifergregorywriter.com/2021/03/01/gue…

this is a screenshot from @GoIUPAT's PRO act video. they don't care that there are many people like myself who WANT to be independent contractors! we agreed to those contracts! we chose the freelance life, but the PRO act means fewer freelance jobs. 😫 #FightForFreelancers

this is a very good explanation of why we need to #fightforfreelancers and NOT #passtheproact!!!

here is the #PROAct text. read section 2 (a) (2) to see the part that hurts freelancers. it's near the beginning. the act expands the definition of "employee," covering people who don't want to be employees! (do not #PassTheProAct)#FightForFreelancers congress.gov/bill/116th-con…

part B is the problem. who cares if the work i'm doing is similar to the work the person who hired me is doing? they hired me to help them, and they're giving me flexibility in how i do the work (part A). so i agreed to work for them as an independent contractor. #proact #abctest
