Freelancers, contractors, gig workers and the entertainment industry make significant contributions to our communities and economy here in Georgia. As Congress considers relief for American workers, I’m hopeful these folks will be offered similar protections as other industries.

In this time of uncertainty, we need a #COVID19 economic relief package that puts workers first and is fair to those in fast-moving industries like ours.
