Statistical Effects of AB5

Lorena Gonzalez and other supporters of #AB5 claim that the professions affected by the law have been few. We all know that it has been catastrophic to many professions and its damage has reached beyond California.

We also know that the"revised" version, AB2257, is too little too late and has its own pitfalls.

To quantify this damage, I am asking that you please fill out this form and submit it, so we can get hard numbers on the actual professions and the number of people affected.

You are not required to enter your name. You can do this anonymously. These numbers will be presented to Lorena Gonzalez and other elected officials and candidates running against those officials, in our efforts to see this evil law repealed.
