Thanks to strong financial support from the ACLC Committee of 100 (monthly donors) and our large membership base of committed yearly donors, this is NOT a fundraising letter. The ACLC is financially sound and ready for pro-labor, pro-working class actions in 2022.
What the ACLC needs now are the people necessary to carry out the actions that have made our organization a force for change in Alachua County. We know the victories:
- Local protections against wage theft
- Living wage raises for workers throughout our community
- Renters Rights and Eviction diversion work
- Support for unionizing, bargaining, and striking workers
- Support for racial justice and criminal justice reform
I write this recruiting letter as a veteran of the 1960’s Civil Rights movement, the Peace/Antiwar movement, and the Women’s Liberation movement. Those of us still around, although now in our 70’s and even 80’s, are more than ready to join ongoing struggles.
Get ready to fill out your 2022 planners with our many pro-working class actions that we will carry out this coming year. Send us an email (info@laborcoalition.org) if you are available. You’ll be hearing from us soon.
The Labor Coalition is holding board member elections at our February membership meeting. You can see our current Board positions here. All positions are open. Please send nominations to info@laborcoalition.org. We will also be talking about different projects and who can take lead on each project.
