Stand Up for Digital Freelancers in the U.S.
Digital freelancers are shaping the future of work in the United States. From software developers and graphic designers to content creators and virtual assistants, millions of Americans now rely on freelance platforms and digital tools to earn a living. They provide essential services that support businesses, power online economies, and drive innovation across industries.
Yet, despite their contributions, digital freelancers often work without basic protections. They face delayed payments, exploitative contracts, and lack access to health insurance, retirement plans, and legal support. In many cases, they are treated as disposable labor—valued for their output, but ignored when it comes to rights and security.
As the gig economy continues to grow, this imbalance is becoming harder to ignore. Freelancers are not just side hustlers or stopgap workers. For many, freelance work is a full-time career—and it deserves to be respected as such.
It’s time to stand up for digital freelancers.
We urge lawmakers and policymakers to:
Guarantee fair pay by requiring timely payments and enforceable contracts for freelance work;
Create portable benefits that follow freelancers across jobs and platforms, including access to healthcare, paid leave, and retirement savings;
Establish legal protections that allow freelancers to resolve disputes without expensive legal battles;
Recognize freelancers as a distinct worker category in labor laws and tax systems, with rights and protections tailored to their needs.
Supporting freelancers isn’t just about fairness—it’s about the future. The digital economy depends on flexible, independent talent. When we protect and empower freelancers, we invest in economic resilience, innovation, and opportunity.
Let’s build a system that works for all workers—including those who work for themselves. It’s time to stand up, speak out, and secure the future for digital freelancers in the U.S
