California policymakers thought independent workers would benefit if the cost of doing business with them was higher.

Instead, many independent workers are losing their jobs—along with flexibility and autonomy.
Here's the cautionary tale of #AB5: https://t.co/urRqlfvAXP
Not sure if #AB5 will apply to you? Check out this helpful explainer video from @HourlyStruggle . If it bothers you in the least, call your reps and tell them. This is a freedom issue, not a political issue. And it's dead serious. https://t.co/LDTWY8yll0

All of you outside of CA who feel no empathy for #AB5 victims b/c they "got what they voted for," well... it's going national. Read, weep, then FIGHT LIKE HELL. @RealKiraDavis @SuperAndrea https://t.co/O0EIylVf0d

Do you live in CA and make extra $$ working for a temp agency or serving/bartending at parties? Well, you are no longer hirable unless you are an LLC. Thank gods for our benevolent dictators, looking out for the little guy! pic.twitter.com/tbzfkZehqI

AB5 continues to hurt Californians across multiple industries. Democrats in government are breaking promises and jeopardizing the future of our state. I need your help to turn this around. https://t.co/UIkhIdwPXm

Any Lawmaker who claims #AB5 isn't affecting thousands of people is misinformed. I've heard from thousands myself. And the number of Californians in the most impacted professions is much, much higher. https://t.co/uZWWHc001Z

We're compiling the #AB5stories into a booklet that I will give to every Lawmaker at the Capitol. All stories submitted by week's end will be included! #AB5 https://t.co/DDV8466VCD

Devastating testimony from yet another freelance writer devastated by California’s #AB5, a bill that is laying waste to livelihoods earned in many vocations. Fellow writers, stand up and make noise. These are our colleagues and this is our fight https://t.co/Od7Jca1xnQ

I am just beside myself. The $20M budget to enforce #AB5 is a slap in the face to every independent contractor who engaged in dialogue with their legislators and hoped for positive change. If you want things to change, exercise your vote on March 3rd!
