Dear John,

Right now, it can be hard for working people to see any light at the end of the tunnel. Greedy corporate lobbyists and their allies on Capitol Hill are running wild in Washington, and it’s having a devastating impact on people's lives. Too many of us work two or three jobs, and are still struggling to make ends meet.

It’s more important than ever that we fight back – together. That’s what we do here at Jobs With Justice: We’re on the ground running strategic campaigns that return power to the people in Congress, state houses, and city halls. We’re organizing with community members to resist against ICE and union-busting bosses. We’re pushing to raise wages and improve working conditions across the country. To keep up all of this vital work, we need you with us.

John, working families deserve a strong voice – and you can be the one to amplify it. Chip in $5 or more right now, and help power our hard-hitting campaigns on behalf of working people. If you donate in the next 24 hours, your gift will be MATCHED, dollar-for-dollar – doubling your impact on the fight for economic and racial justice!

It’s no secret that too many in Congress listen to billionaire donors and corporate lobbyists more than their own constituents. When that happens, working people suffer. Right-to-work laws get passed in state houses across the country. Minimum wages remain stagnant for decades. Making ends meet gets harder and harder.

That’s why we’re on the ground in communities all across the country, returning power to the people. When you chip in $5 or more, your matched gift will double your impact on our campaigns to:

• Continue going after huge corporations that shortchange their workers out of their hard-earned pay. A recent report co-authored by Jobs With Justice and Good Jobs First found that large corporations have stolen billions from working people due to wage theft. Walmart, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and others are some of the worst offenders.

• Eliminate the barriers to accessing good jobs. In Long Island, Chicago, and Buffalo, we are spearheading campaigns to help people access public transit, so they can get to and from work safely. In Maine, we continue to lead the fight for universal home care so that working people can get the help they need to manage their demanding jobs while caring for aging family members.

• Hold corporations accountable for continuing to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, profiting off of the terror and pain of families being ripped apart. The family separation crisis isn't over - children are still being held in detention camps, and immigrant families live under the constant threat of deportation. But big tech companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Dell, and others still contract with ICE and Customs and Border Protection to help enforce inhumane policies. Your support amplifies our calls for justice and safety for these working families.

That’s why we need you with us. Please, make a gift of $5 or more so Jobs With Justice can keep winning campaigns for working people – and for the next 24 hours, watch your gift of $5 or more get matched, dollar-for-dollar!

Thanks for joining us in the fights to come, John. We’re so excited for what we’re going to accomplish together.

In Solidarity and Resistance, Sarita Gupta and Erica Smiley Jobs With Justice
