Dear Friend,
In case you missed our message from the holiday weekend, read below to see what step you can take TONIGHT on Giving Tuesday to stand alongside all New Yorkers. It's never too late to take action for a better New York that works for all of us.
On this holiday weekend, thousands and thousands of New Yorkers who applied for relief funding from New York State await their pending requests.
Due to the significant demand from working class New Yorkers, the State has stopped accepting new applications. Governor Hochul recently asked the federal government for almost $1 billion in additional funding for rent relief.
Click here to give thanks to our organizers and member leaders and to sustain their work.
As we continue to organize for rent relief and to make the excluded workers fund a permanent one that is replicated all over the country, we continue to need your help. Here are a few ways your donation helps us build power:
- $20 a month helps hire interpreters to hold bilingual meetings
- $50 a month helps coordinate relief fund application support for tens of excluded workers and renters
- $100 a month helps put an organizer in the field for an entire week
With your sustaining donation, we can make New York a better place for all. Tax deductible donations can be made through here.
We hope we can count on you in 2022!
Thank you and happy holidays from our family to yours.
