John,
For generations, major problems have been ignored in communities across the country―from hunger to childhood poverty to housing to racial injustice and more. Now, we have an opportunity to deliver real results to millions of people with low and middle-incomes: to make sure we all share in the economic recovery we badly need.
We’re building a broad campaign, powered by groups and individuals across the country. You may have heard of our campaign from previous years. It’s called SAVE for All, which stands for Strengthening America’s Values and Economy for All.
We’re organizing meetings with members of Congress in Washington, DC, and we’re asking our national grassroots network to help in the most effective way you can. During our meetings, we’re sharing with members of Congress how many organizations and people have signed on to our SAVE for All agenda for human needs.
Are you a member of a community group, a church or religious institution? Do you volunteer or work for a service provider, or own or work at a small business? Are you on a PTO or a member of a union? We need organizations and businesses in all 50 states to join our growing national coalition.
Can you get your organization to sign on to fight for economic, racial, and social justice? Click here to lend your organization's name in support of our SAVE for All agenda or share this with the board, executive director or owner. We need organizations and businesses in all 50 states!
If you don’t belong to or represent an organization or business, that’s OK. We also need tens of thousands of people in all 50 states to sign-on in support.
Together, through SAVE for All, we’re demanding Congress act to address poverty and equity; promote job creation; strengthen the green economy; require the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share in taxes; and cut wasteful spending in the Pentagon and elsewhere.
We are building massive grassroots support for our human needs agenda with people from ALL 50 states and territories.

The COVID pandemic laid bare the ways our country has failed to support opportunities and provide protections for all. Racial disparities in deaths and economic devastation stand as an undeniable testament to persistent and historic racial discrimination, structural inequities in access to health care, narrow work opportunities, and housing disparities experienced by people of color and women.
Our nation’s progress depends on equal rights and opportunities for all.
We have a once-in-a-generation chance for Congress to pass a transformational economic recovery package that invests in our future and advances our shared priorities. And we can make these critical changes by finally making the rich and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
Thank you for all you do to create an inclusive society that leaves no one behind.
Deborah Weinstein Executive Director, Coalition on Human Needs
