Dear Friend,

This is a pivotal moment for our country. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are facing immense challenges at every level of society, and Black and Brown communities are being hit the hardest. We must act now to protect frontline communities who are being left behind. The work of CPD—from advancing paid sick leave, expanding access to healthcare, protecting workers and immigrants, and fighting for adequate protections for essential workers—has never been more urgent. Today, on #GivingTuesdayNow, we’re asking you to make a special gift to ensure that everyone is included in our government’s response and recovery.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences, we are fighting for community protection, immediate relief, and a just recovery. We’re demanding that our government’s response includes everyone. CPD has a clear vision for a world where everyone has the freedom to thrive, and we know now is the time to double down in the fight for racial, economic and social justice. Your contributions help defend and protect our communities and our democracy in this moment of global crisis. And we can’t do this work without supporters like you. Will you give $10 now?

In solidarity,

Jennifer Epps-Addison
Network President & Co-Executive Director, CPD
