Angela Martinez Gómez was 42 years old and was originally from Oaxaca, Mexico. She was a leader and loved by her family and community. Burger King exploited her for her labor until her final days. That& #39;s how companies like @BurgerKing and @McDonalds make billions of dollars. – bei Burger King
Angela Martinez Gómez taught us to fight for our dreams and to be ourselves.
Today we honor her in silent protest and fight for safe working conditions.
Her family is raising money for her body to be transported back to Oaxaca: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-memory-of-angela">https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-lovi... #TransLivesMatter – bei Burger King

"A couple days ago, [Angela Martinez Gómez] died and had symptoms of coronavirus. [Burger King] has done nothing to protect us. I am diabetic and fear for my health and my family& #39;s." Yolanda Santiago #ProtectAllWorkers

“Several workers walked out for safety on July 6, after learning of Angela’s death,” said a complaint filed with CAL/OSHA. “A worker shouldn’t have to die and workers shouldn’t have to strike to call attention to COVID safety at Burger King.”
