Hi team — and happy Labor Day!
This holiday was founded to celebrate the achievements of hard-working Americans, and it’s a holiday that here at The Fairness Project, we hold close to our heart.
The Fairness Project was born out of the labor movement, and we’re proud to be carrying the legacy of union organizers as we fight for higher wages, better benefits, and economic fairness.
We’ve won 20 of the 21 ballot campaigns we’ve worked on. We’ve delivered health care for over 800,000 people across the country by expanding Medicaid and we’ve helped put over $19 billion into the pockets of workers by raising the minimum wage. This work is only possible because of the generations of labor leaders who established the minimum wage in the first place and continue to fight to make health care a human right.
This Labor Day, we’re celebrating all of the hard-working individuals who have fought with us to get ballot measures passed to improve the quality of life for working people in America.
But there’s lots more to do — right now we’re planning more campaigns for 2021 and 2022. If you’re with us in the fight for progressive change for working people in America, will you sign our pledge today? Sign on to stand with us today!
Thanks for your support, team. We’ll be in touch over the coming months with news and how you can support The Fairness Project and our fight for progressive change.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
