In the #US, thousands of kids are injured at work every year, and at least one child is killed every month. In 2022, 6 of the 19 children killed at work were under the age of 16.
It's the World Day Against #ChildLabor, & the US is #NotSafeForKids. #EndUSChildLabor #WDACL2024

"When you're forced to live life at a systemic edge, you do your best to survive."
Jose Velasquez Castellano on his experience as a former child farmworker in tobacco at a Congressional briefing hosted by @EndUSChildLabor & @ChildLaborCLC on Tuesday.
The #US is #NotSafeForKids
In the last year, #Iowa legislators have passed #ChildLabor laws to let:️
16-yr-olds do hazardous work
14-yr-olds work later & for more hours on school nights
14.5-yr-olds DRIVE to work.
Iowa is #NotSafeForKids.
#WDACL2024 #EndUSChildLabor
DYK: #US federal law does not meet international #ChildLabor standards? Kids can work unlimited hours on farms from the age of 12, & 16-17 yr-olds can do hazardous agricultural work. Until we #EndUSChildLabor, the US is #NotSafeForKids. #WDACL2024

On the World Day Against #ChildLabor, most govts celebrate the progress they've made to END child exploitation. But in the #US, some legislators will be celebrating the progress made to INCREASE it.
Until we #EndUSChildLabor, the United States is #NotSafeForKids.

Did you know that the United States allows kids as young as 12 work in #tobacco fields?
Nicotine is a neurotoxin - harvesting it is harmful to kids. Write to Congress to stop kids working in tobacco! @EndUSChildLabor #WorldNoTobaccoDay

In the U.S., you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes, yet U.S. law allows children who are only 12 to harvest #tobacco. Child workers wear black plastic garbage bags in a desperate attempt to avoid nicotine poisoning. #EndUSChildLabor Fix this here:

Farming #tobacco can cause breathing difficulties, nausea, headaches, dizziness, rashes, & irritation to mouth & eyes. But in the #US a 12yr-old can do this hazardous work. Write to legislators to stop #ChildLabor in tobacco @EndUSChildLabor
