Dear Friend,

The election is over, a record number of voters made their voices heard, and in just two months, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in as the next president and vice president of the United States.

They’ll take office as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to tear a path across the country. People are out-of-work and struggling to cover the basics, all while waiting for a second stimulus that never came. Unemployment insurance is running out, eviction moratoriums are ending, leaving millions at risk of eviction during the winter, and every day we are seeing new record levels of positive COVID cases. And of those still working — the grocery store, warehouse, healthcare workers and more who were deemed “essential” — many lack basic health and safety protections, leaving them at increased risk of contracting COVID.

Working people are teetering on the brink and a long and dark winter is ahead.

Make no mistake, the challenges we face are daunting. But with this new administration, we have new opportunities to not only rebuild our economy and our democracy, but build them back in a way that finally puts working people first--Black, white, and brown alike. But to accomplish this, the new administration must hear our voices--the voices of working people

We want to share your views with the new administration, and it’s why we’ve put together a short survey asking working people like you to let the Biden/Harris administration know what they should prioritize in their first 100 days in office.

Despite the chaos and numerous crises our country faces, we have a unique opportunity to help set the agenda to ensure the new administration puts working people first, and brings a swift end to the Trump era.

So much is at stake, and that’s why it’s more important than ever for working people to have their voices heard. Together, we can ensure this new administration understands the priorities of those most affected by what’s happening in our country.

Please, fill out the short survey and be sure to share with your friends and family. The only way we can address the pandemic, economic crisis, and other crucial issues like immigration and racial justice, is by sharing our experiences as working people with policymakers. When they hear us, and when they listen to us, we can build a real democracy and economy that finally puts working people before profits.

Thank you for everything you do—especially in times of crisis.

In Solidarity, 

Joel
