Friend,

Today is the last day of the DC JWJ Summer Sustainer Drive! If you've been thinking about giving, the time to give is now!

Your support sustains our work all year long! And that work reaches far and wide. Just check out our upcoming events today, tomorrow, and beyond at the bottom of this email. We are fighting for Hero Pay for essential workers, building power with Excluded Workers, informing workers to end wage theft, and fighting for stronger rent control. If you value this work, please become a sustainer today.

Also, today is the last day to get our awesome thank you gifts when you give:

Anyone who gives over $25 a month gets homemade cookies
Anyone that gives over $50 a month will get a self-care basket curated by the DC JWJ staff.

Thank you to everyone for all your contributions to our work!

TODAY:

The Committee of the Whole is hearing testimony on the DC budget including DC JWJ's priorities of Hero Pay for essential workers, greater assistance for Excluded Workers, and protecting Paid Family Leave.
