Mark your calendar! In less than a week is #GivingTuesday, which means people around the world are celebrating kindness by giving back. Help protect worker rights around the world by supporting the Solidarity Center.

With their collective strength, workers and their movements have proven to be the largest force for protecting democracy. Our partners in Ukraine have worked nonstop to assist people displaced by war, turning their labor halls into refugee centers and donating their savings to relief efforts. Garment workers in Myanmar are risking their lives to fight a deadly regime. And in Brazil and Colombia, the labor movement and a broad coalition of social actors are leading efforts to rebuild a democratic future for all. Meanwhile, thousands of Mexican factory workers defied the odds and formed independent unions, setting the stage for workers at more factories to stand up to corrupt company unions—a victory for rights on the job and in communities.

In 2022, we campaigned for greater social protections for essential and the rights of app-based drivers and delivery people. We learned from the pandemic and adapted programs to openings created by COVID-19. 

Going forward, we are doubling down on our commitment to grassroots worker movements to fight societal injustices, such as gender and racial inequality; change laws to enshrine human rights; and strive toward shared prosperity. We are raising our ambitions, accelerating our efforts and improving our coordination among partners and allies, tapping into the foundation of innovation and collective action we established over the last two years. We will not rest until we see a new social contract that respects and protects working people. And we will continue to push, with workers and labor movements around the world, against the tide of authoritarianism.

Your generous gift in honor of #GivingTuesday will support our crucial programs that expand access to justice and boost organizing and advocacy skills for workers, unions and their allies in 60 countries where we reach more than 70 million workers a year. Now more than ever, we need to join together in solidarity to raise standards to the most vulnerable everywhere.

Please consider making a gift this year to the Solidarity Center. The video below is just one example of how workers are standing up for their rights! Please share our video of the incredible low-wage platform workers in Nigeria organizing and fighting for their rights to educate others about a cause you deeply care about. 

Thank you for standing with us. 

In Solidarity,
