(Washington, DC) The District’s reported data for Friday, July 31, 2020 includes 79 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 12,205.
Tragically, 585 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.
The community spread chart is subject to fluctuation because the data is based on symptom onset date. As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.
The Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) is seeking to hire for the role of Coordinator, Project to Combat Forced Labor, for a period of 12 months. The WRC is a nonprofit labor rights organization dedicated to ending sweatshop conditions and protecting the rights of workers in factories around the world that produce clothing and other consumer products. We conduct independent, in-depth investigations; issue public reports on factories producing for major brands; and help end labor abuses and protect workplace rights. We also advocate for systemic reforms in global manufacturing supply chains to address the economic dynamics underlying abusive conditions and open the door to broader positive change.
Over the past two years, the WRC has documented the use of forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China (XUAR) in the supply chains of major apparel firms and pressed these firms to address this serious human rights violation. This forced labor is perpetrated by the Chinese government as part of its systemic repression of Uyghur and other Turkic or Muslim-majority peoples. In exposing international apparel firms’ complicity in forced labor in the XUAR, the WRC is working closely with investigative journalists, leading human rights organizations, and diasporic Uyghur organizations. The WRC and other organizations are pressing for industry-wide change in their approach to preventing forced labor in the region.
As part of our Covid-19 precautions, all WRC employees are currently working remotely and not engaging in travel. When the situation improves, the position will require some travel. Candidates who will be able to work from our office in Washington, DC, at the point that we return to our office, are preferred.
This is currently a 12-month position, with the possibility of extension contingent on available funding.
