Workers who lose jobs to automation could get help training for new careers. Local partnerships could use federal grants for classes, job-search help, stipends, child care, and transportation.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects workers whose jobs are lost or at risk because of automation. It also affects employers, schools, workforce boards, and local economic development groups that want federal money to build training programs. States and local workforce systems would have to work automation-related training into existing federal job programs.
Why this matters: Automation can remove jobs faster than workers can find new ones, and this bill tries to close that gap. It would fund training for workers in at-risk jobs and help them move into fields where employers need people. It could also help low-wage workers take part by paying for supports like child care and transportation. The real effect is uncertain because training only helps if the programs work and good jobs are available.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
