Dear Friend,
Last week, over 40 salon workers and advocates converged on the Capitol in Sacramento to ask lawmakers to stand-up for salon worker health and vote “YES” on AB 2775, a bill that will give salon workers (and their clients) the right to know what ingredients they are being exposed to on the job.
The bill has been making great progress, but we need your help to make sure AB 2775 keeps its momentum and passes the California Senate. Will you stand up for salon worker health by contacting your Senator and asking her/ him to vote “YES” for AB 2775?
Salon products can contain ingredients linked to cancer, birth defects, infertility, asthma, and allergies. AB 2775 will give salon workers and owners the ability to choose products that are safer and avoid ingredients they may be concerned about.
Roya, a long-time WVE member and Actionista, was one of the salon workers that came with us to Sacramento. For over 20 years Roya has operated a salon with her mother and sister in Southern California. She started to become concerned about the chemicals used in salon products when her sister’s health began to suffer.
Stand with salon workers like Roya. Take action today!
To safer workplaces and our right to know,
Jamie McConnell
Director of Programs and Policy
A Victory for Transparency in the Professional Beauty Industry
