Expanded outreach on workers’ rights

Jakara canvasses 4-5 days each week and engages with workers, answering questions one-on-one. They start outreach with Punjabi community members/workers at Sikh temples (gurdwaras) and Latino workers at flea markets. They also give out supplies like hand sanitizer bottles, masks, N95 respirators, gloves, and face shields, which helps engage workers. Social media outreach includes posts twice a week in English, Punjabi, and Spanish. For those who don’t have social media, Jakara uses a WhatsApp group and sends out similar messages. Jakara also gives out information on rental assistance, wage theft, protection from retaliation, workers’ comp, and overtime.
