Dear John,

Today is black Friday in the US, a day that illustrates how our country runs on extractive consumerism and corporate greed. Low-wage workers putting in long hours will be at risk today more than ever. With the pandemic in its most dangerous phase yet, our essential workers are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19. Furthermore, in places like North Carolina where UFE is organizing, the minimum wage is only $7.25 an hour, and workers often don’t have benefits like sick time or health insurance.

A living wage should be a human right. Basic health and safety should be a human right. 

Give today – and support our work which has helped build a coalition of low-wage workers, community leaders and activists in North Carolina. Through our training network, we have trained many organizers involved in this fight in facilitation and popular education skills to grow the movement.

Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of supporting nonprofits, is just 4 days away... This year, make an impact by becoming a Movement Sustainer!

If you sign up before or on Giving Tuesday to become a Movement Sustainer by giving $5 or more monthly or $60 or more annually, we will send you a free UFE face mask. They are made by Puntada, an Immigrant women-owned Coop founded with the help of our partner CCDS in East Boston, MA.

Why become a Movement Sustainer?

1. It’s easy- Only sign up once! Go to www.faireconomy.org/donate and check “Monthly” or “Annual” and enter your amount.
2. It’s impactful- We need your support year-round to stop the structural and systemic policies, cultural myths and greedy corporations that contribute to inequality.
3. It’s collective- Join a community of other people across the country committed to UFE’s work to end economic inequality.

Help us amplify our impact by growing our community of Movement Sustainers from 25 to 50 monthly donors and from 10 annual donors to 20 by December 1, 2020 (Giving Tuesday!).

Thank you for supporting our work to build a fair economy for the long haul!

In Solidarity,
United for a Fair Economy
