We now have a national strike fund at the DU
This discussion thread is pinned.
We have a new tax-deductible charity. I had posted about the charity. I got a few questions and requests to make a DU link.
Here is the original LBN post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143653460
NEW YORK – The American labor movement will soon have something it’s never had before: a centralized strike fund.
Union Now, the new nonprofit and brainchild of Association of Flight Attendants-CWA International President Sara Nelson, began officially fundraising at a kickoff rally on Sunday, April 12th, in Manhattan. National leaders of the Democratic left were there in support; both Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani made rousing speeches, which suggests that the supporters Union Now hopes to enlist will go beyond those who are already union activists.
As a 501(c)3, Union Now does not donate to individual candidates

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
