These are without a doubt some very strange times. I'm pretty sure none of us have lived through a pandemic like this before and yet...here we are.
We've made it through fires, floods and now Covid-19.
We've gone ahead and reactivated the GoFundMe page we had during the fires. However, unlike the fires, when we could appeal to our brothers & sisters in other parts of the country, everyone is going through the same pains so we're just putting this out to folks to see if we can raise some more money. Hope you'll consider making a generous donation to help out our brothers and sisters who are struggling at this time.
Thanks everyone. Here's hoping you and yours are safe and healthy and that we find our way out of this as soon as possible.

Let's block this legislation.
The COVID-19 crisis is devastating workers in every industry. This crisis is also exposing the gaping holes in our social safety net and laying bare just how rigged this economy is against workers and our families and how tilted it is to the wealthy and powerful. It’s time for decision-makers to hear from us about what we demand to weather this crisis and the changes we need to create an economy that prioritizes working people going forward.
