Contribute to fund the fight demanding governors reject any and all efforts to roll back child labor laws now.
Child labor laws have a long history in the United States. The first child labor laws were passed in the early 1900s, in response to widespread concerns about the exploitation of children in the workplace. Over the years, these laws have been strengthened and expanded to include a variety of industries and occupations.
Unfortunately, there has been a worrying trend of attacks on child labor laws in states across America in recent years, with lawmakers proposing bills that would allow minors to work in dangerous jobs like meatpacking, construction, and mining, and expand their working hours.
From Iowa to Minnesota, Texas to Ohio, Wisconsin, and even New Jersey, child labor laws are under assault in states nationwide, putting the safety and well-being of children at risk.
Governors can do more to address this issue right now. Whether they work with advocates and stakeholders to develop new policies and programs that help to protect children from exploitation and abuse, or they use their bully pulpit to speak out in defense of child labor laws, they must urge lawmakers to reject any proposals that would weaken these laws.
