An estimated six million immigrants are in essential jobs at the frontline of the response to this pandemic. They work in industries such as health care, grocery and pharmacy retail, manufacturing, cleaning and janitorial services, and agriculture. An additional six million foreign-born workers are employed in industries that have been hard-hit by business closures. These include food service, travel and hospitality, personal services and private household work, and building services.\u00a0This FAQ answers questions immigrant workers and their advocates might have about COVID-19\u2013related topics.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"word-wrap-break\"><a href=\"\/labor-protections-for-immigrant-workers-during-covid19\/\">WEBINAR | Workers\u2019 Rights: Critical Labor Protections for Immigrant Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a name=\"solutions\"><\/a><div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n<h1>LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SOLUTIONS<\/h1>\n<h3><a href=\"\/impact-of-covid19-relief-bills-on-immigrant-communities\/\">Understanding the Impact of Key Provisions of COVID-19 Relief Bills on Immigrant Communities<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Federal COVID-19 relief bills enacted as of late April 2020 fall short of meeting the most basic health care and economic needs of millions of Americans, including immigrant workers and families who are on the frontlines of caring for our communities during the pandemic, providing crucial services while others are able to shelter at home. This policy brief provides information on the federal COVID-19 relief bills\u2019 impact on low-income immigrants and suggestions for urgently needed improvements in any future relief bills, with a focus on health, public benefits, economic support, and employment protections.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"\/covid-19-shared-crisis-shared-solutions\/\">Shared Crisis, Shared Solutions: State and Local Advocacy for an Immigrant-Inclusive Response to the COVID-19 Crisis<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This report explores immigrant-inclusive economic justice policy opportunities for state and local advocates to pursue in their communities. So far, programs that provide financial assistance have left many immigrants without the support they need to weather the COVID-19 storm. Restrictive federal policies and immigration enforcement actions have thwarted the nation\u2019s ability to protect public health. Although every community\u2019s health depends on\u00a0<em>everyone<\/em>\u00a0in it being healthy, many immigrant families have been unable to obtain necessary COVID-19 testing and care. Finally, as workers, including many immigrants, continue to work during the crisis, inadequate workplace protections place many at risk of becoming sick as they provide services essential to our well-being and survival. Advocates and organizers across the country are taking leadership in building a response that is inclusive of all community members.<\/p>\n<h3><a
