1/ What is the life of an undocumented worker worth?

Without them, NYC's $55.5B construction industry could not exist. But when they die at buildings that lack safety measures, they disappear without a trace.

To hold developers accountable, read and share our investigations. Image 2/ @mauriziogro's investigations found that undocumented workers, who make up the majority of fatalities in the City's construction industry, are invisible even after their deaths because there is no official tally that registers their basic information.

So, Gov. Cuomo listened to the undocumented workers calling for emergency relief aid. But, he hasn't learned from past mistakes, activists say.

Here's what's wrong. 🧵 THREAD
documentedny.com/2021/04/02/cuo… Cuomo wants to distribute the proposed #ExcludedWorkerFund based on what proof-of-employment documentation a worker could provide.

Undocumented people having to provide pay stubs or bank statements to access emergency cash? What could go wrong?

Hi! I'll be livetweeting our #DocumentedTalks panel about immigrant labor organizing in the pandemic. @AmirKhafagy91 will be interviewing
Yolanda Zhang with @AintIAWomanNY & @FlushingWorkers, Rosanna Aran with @LWC_workers and Nelson Mar with 318 Restaurant Workers Union. ⬇️ .@AmirKhafagy91 says that as a journalist, labor has been the most underreported aspect of the pandemic.

"People talk about returning to the new normal. But these workers are saying that we're going to dictate what the new normal is going to look like."
