Dec 11: Forgotten Workers from Sea to Shore: A Community Discussion on Seafarers during the Pandemic
To: Terry FCC

Please, see and share attached flyer and join us on December 11th:

Over 1.5 million seafarers worldwide work in incredibly dangerous and stressful conditions to bring the goods that Americans rely on everyday. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic intensified the already horrific conditions of seafarers, exposing them to the deadly virus and leaving over 300,000 seafarers stranded at sea unable to return to their home countries like China, the Philippines, and India. This unseen and forgotten labor is the backbone of our global economy.

In commemoration of International Humans Rights Day and International Migrants Day, we are holding a community discussion on the conditions of seafarers and how we can support them in the Bay Area

For COVID safety, we will offer both in-person and virtual options. We ask that all in-person attendees are either vaccinated or have a recent negative COVID test. Please wear a mask and practice social distance.

RSVP at bit.ly/sea2shore for more information.
