Dear Friend,

From October 22, 2021 through January 3, 2022, we will be part of the Homeroom installation at Museum of Modern Arts PS1—curated by Nuevayorkinos, featuring our friends at Fund Excluded Workers coalition. Homeroom centers on the hunger strikers, organizers, and decision-makers who secured the historic Excluded Workers Fund in 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At $2.1 billion, this New York state fund represents the largest economic assistance program for essential immigrant workers, who were originally excluded from state and federal unemployment or pandemic relief. And right now, our organizers are fighting to make this fund permanent, and spread across the nation to other states.

Support our organizing here so that we may fight to turn this fund into a permanent one. Donate here.

Featuring photography, film, installations, testimony, and visual materials used as tools for organizing, the activation highlights the collective labor and triumphs of excluded worker organizing. The space honors the migration stories of these workers, while celebrating the power and creativity of their collective struggle.

Consider donating to help this fight to make the Excluded Workers Fund a permanent one! Hope you make it out to Queens before the exhibition ends on January 3, 2022.

In solidarity,

Jamie Tyberg
Director of Development
