Thank you to the over 200 supporters who joined our COVID-19 Solidarity Webinar on April 7th. If you weren’t able to join us live, you can watch the webinar recording here!
We know that the impacts of both the climate crisis and COVID-19 are disproportionately felt by lower-income, communities of color, and working people. Our labor union and community of color based partners are working tirelessly to support their members who are working on the frontlines of this crisis.
Here are ways you can support their calls for emergency justice!
- Got Green: Sign the Emergency Justice Petition
- Community to Community & Familias Unidas Por La Justicia: Call your electeds and ask for Farmworker protections!
- Give to Front & Centered’s Frontline Response Fund
- Give to the Washington State Labor Council’s Foundation for Working Families
- United Food and Commercial Workers Local 21:
- Sign the petition: Gig companies must provide essential protections for essential workers
- Sign the petition: Support our nurses and healthcare workers
- Sign the petition: The federal government must release supplies from the National Strategic Stockpile of protective equipment immediately
- Sign the petition: Grocery Store and Pharmacy workers need childcare support.
- Sign the petition: COVID-19 relief for Macy’s workers!
- Donate unused personal protective gear for healthcare workers.
- Sign the petition: Demand Action and protections for grocery store workers
We developed a COVID–19 Solidarity Resource Toolkit and a Collection of Solidarity Actions and Policy Demands with the goal of gathering all COVID–19 resources and policy demands into one place. You can also find the most up-to-date calls to action on our website.
The Climate Alliance believes that a just response and recovery from COVID-19 is absolutely necessary to create a safer, more equitable, and climate justice future. Our efforts to tackle these dual crises must prioritize the health and safety of our communities, protect and lift up those who are most impacted, and must be rooted in racial and economic justice. I hope you will join us!
In Solidarity,
Lauren Breynaert
Coalition Director, Climate Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy
