Dear John,
This week, the first stimulus payments will hit many bank accounts and provide critical relief to people who are struggling with the enormous challenges of supporting their families in our current moment. At the same time, many of us who have the opportunity to work-from-home are also looking for ways to directly help our friends, family, and community members, who need us now more than ever.
Join me and so many others around the country by sharing your check with a someone struggling to make ends meet. A contribution to the Worker Solidarity Fund TODAY directly helps those who desperately need our help.
We are quickly sending your donations to our Jobs With Justice local coalitions around the country, who are distributing funds right now to people from the most impacted sectors like: retail, restaurant, construction, farm, hospitality workers, and more.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 this week for urgent distribution to those most in need. You can be one of the roughly 100 people needed who commits to sharing SOME or ALL of your stimulus payment to a person struggling to make ends meet, and help us reach our goal. Please, there's no time to waste: contribute to the Worker Solidarity Fund today.
You've seen the numbers. The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic is crushing working people. Millions have lost their jobs, or are struggling with reduced hours or lower wages and in desperate need of assistance. Black, brown, and immigrant communities are among the hardest hit—the very same people who have long been exploited by structural racism and other systems of oppression.
Your contribution isn't just a financial lifeline—it's a commitment to continue building power with those who need it most in innovative ways, allowing us to emerge from this crisis stronger than before. We know this is an unprecedented opportunity for long-term structural change and to build an economy that finally puts working people before profits.
Thank you for your support.
In Solidarity,
Erica Smiley Executive Director Jobs With Justice |
