Dear allies,

This year, for our Salt of the Earth Awards, Community Labor United is honoring our brave frontline workers, organizations who stood up to help our communities, and our legislators who fought to provide us the resources we needed to weather this pandemic in Greater Boston and throughout the Commonwealth. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this event will be held remotely via a virtual networking platform, Remo.

Join us Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. to help us celebrate our recipients! Here is the link to join the event via Remo: https://live.remo.co/e/salt-of-the-earth-awards. For information on how to join us on Remo, we’ve created this toolkit.
