Friend,

When we launched our relief fund in April, nearly all who requested support from our relief fund had been laid off, with 86% ineligible for unemployment, 69% with children to provide for, and 11% with a family member who was hospitalized or died from the virus.

Our campaigns to Cancel Rent and Fund Excluded Workers and Make Billionaires Pay were all born out of this reality. Since then we have raised and distributed over $100,000 in relief funding to those in need in the neighborhoods in which we organize; and helped turn our campaign slogans into bills that can set the blueprint for the new New York that works for everybody.

To all those who continue to make phone calls for our campaigns, canvass, sign petitions, talk to their neighbors, we thank you for fighting alongside us. We hope that on August 26th, you will join our very first virtual gala featuring a roundtable discussion with some of the most visionary organizers with whom I've had the privilege of building this movement.

RSVP here and please donate whatever you are able to in order to help us win our campaigns to Cancel Rent, Fund Excluded Workers, and Make Billionaires Pay.

In solidarity,

Jonathan Westin
