CISA's C-SCRM turns a page on a busy year for federal software supply chain security directives and guidance. Will it move the needle?

Kicking off #SmallBiz month w/ a thank you & humble request for @kyrstensinema @SenMarkKelly @MarkWarner. Appreciate you standing up for #SmallBusiness & not supporting #PROAct w/ harmful #ABCTest. Please stay strong & continue to legislate for ALL Americans. #FightforFreelancers

I make far more as an independent contractor than I would as an employee of any of my clients. As do many women of color like me. #PROAct destroys paths to success for women, people of color, as well as those with disabilities, caring for elders and more. #NoPROAct.
#fightforfreelancers has no problem w/employees forming a union. But #PROAct ABC Test can't tell the difference between them & an independent translator or writer earning $65k. #NoPROAct #NoABCforUSA

There is a simple answer for misclassification of independent contractors. Please continue to withhold support for #PROAct until it can be amended to use the existing language from the IRS Test for worker classification instead of the devastating #ABCTest. #NoPROAct

@ErickaChick Agreed - the ABC Test will negatively impact small businesses (like mine) who use independent contractors for client projects. Many 1099 people don't want to be classified as employees. @SenateDems @SenateGOP

Senators, please don't clothe oppression in the cloaks of false righteousness. #PROAct as written will hurt the most vulnerable: single moms, people with disabilities, those caring for elders, minorities who can't catch a break in the corporate rat race. #NoABCforUSA

Introduced my 4- and 6-year-old daughters to Ramona Quimby a few months ago. She is still as relevant as she ever was. RIP Beverly Cleary, your legacy lives on.
Though we’re grateful to have had so many years with her, we are devastated to hear of the passing of beloved author and UW alum Beverly Cleary, ’39. 💔We're fondly remembering her interview with our @UWalum magazine:

Amen to that.
Make no mistake: Today, with the #PROAct, @TheDemocrats are telling self-employed women like me not only that they don’t care about us, but also that it is their intent to make us extinct. We’ll see you in the Senate. #NoABCforUSA #FightForFreelancers

#PROAct proponents claim to be advocates for marginalized workers. But this law disproportionately hurts the marginalized who choose to #freelance in order to better their lives. Even the supporters of this bill admit it...

An excellent, simple primer on how #PROAct and its #ABCTest is a poison pill for #freelancers across the US. #FightforFreelancers #NoPROAct
Oh, it's thread time. And this is one that everyone should read. And share. Because EVERYONE should know this information that's being buried in the news cycle.

@LukeSironski @brittneyt603 @ErickaChick @StacyRalph2 @VP @POTUS At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what is intended, either. The end result of the #PROAct would be millions of freelancers losing income and clients, even in cases where no W2 job exists. There are other financial consequences of being forced into W2 jobs as well.
