Dear John,
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis that is a combination of a public health, economic, social and political failure. It has exposed the deep inequality of our society and the fragility of the systems on which we rely.
But it has also been a moment of rare solidarity, where working families can see that we are all in this with each other, across our differences and across the globe. And it is because of this sense of solidarity that many of us are looking for ways to show up for one another.
Almost all of us and our families, friends, and loved ones have been touched in some way by this crisis. This moment has changed all of our lives, and upended some of them entirely. But if you are in a position to pitch in, here are a few ways that you can support the Working Families Party right now in this critical moment:
-
Chip in with a one-time gift: Giving away trillions to Wall Street CEOs won’t do a thing to help those who are suffering the most right now. That’s why the Working Families Party is fighting nationwide for a People’s Bailout that puts working families first, to protect our elections, and to forge ahead with the critical work of electing candidates up and down the ballot this year who will stand with working people. If you’re able to afford it right now, please chip in to help us keep doing this work.
-
Check up on your neighbors: So many of us have been connecting with family, friends, and neighbors in our own communities, joining mutual aid networks, or checking in with those who are the most vulnerable in this crisis. WFP’s volunteer Text4Resistance team, so instrumental in getting out the vote, is now also reaching out to our neighbors to ensure that our communities are accounted for and taken care of. Join us if you want to learn more.
-
Create a lasting legacy with the Working Families Party: For the last few months, we have been partnering with our friends at FreeWill to provide all WFP supporters with the opportunity to create a legal will, 100% free of charge. The service is completely free whether or not you choose to make a gift. It’s an easy way to ensure you and your family are protected, while also supporting the fight for working families for years to come.
As always, but especially now, any way you can show your support means the world to us.
With love and solidarity,
Working Families Party
