“If you are a leader and no one is following, you’re just going for a walk.”
– Cecil E. Roberts
Preserve the Story. Power the Movement.
What is the goal of the Fund?
To preserve and advance workers’ history, ensuring that the massive impact of the Labor Movement on our families, communities, and society is recognized and celebrated.
Why does it matter right now?
The fund was specifically established to raise money for critical educational efforts. We are on a mission to teach the younger generation about the power of the labor movement and the real blood, sweat, and tears of those who fought for the rights we enjoy today.
History isn’t just a textbook; it’s a living legacy. ✊
