Dear John,

The ALIGN 2021 Movement Builders Awards was a special night for our movement. Fellow colleagues, allies, friends, and supporters like you came together to celebrate our shared work for economic, racial, and climate justice. In this night of celebration, joy, and reflection, we are reminded of the power we have on our side in our fight for dignity and justice for all New Yorkers.

Our achievements throughout this pandemic shows that our strategy for building collective power through strategic coalition building is working. We are more than ready to keep the momentum going. Please consider making a donation or becoming a monthly sustainer so we can continue fighting for a more just and equitable New York.

Check out photos of the event here, and this video showcasing our movement building work throughout the pandemic.

On this special night, labor unions, worker centers, and community organizations came together that night to honor our movement builders: Assembly Member Karines Reyes and Senator Michael Gianaris, Stuart Appelbaum, and Dr. Lara Skinner for their leadership in building movements for economic, racial, and climate justice. We were also grateful to have Senator Chuck Schumer join us via livestream to celebrate our work with us.

This celebration is also key for our organization to continue building a movement to build worker power and fight for an equitable renewable energy economy. We are a people-powered movement that needs support  from our communities. If you were not able to attend the event, it is not too late to make a donation or become a monthly sustainer to support our movement building work!

In solidarity,

Maritza Silva-Farrell
