How CWA and Labor are Helping Haiti Relief Efforts

E-mail Print PDF
There are two CWA efforts underway to help direct relief donations to Haiti. 
 
First, CWA is partnering with Save the Children to help provide critical supplies to quake survivors -- particularly children, who are most vulnerable.
 
Help make sure Save the Children has the resources it needs to continue these efforts. Any amount you can afford will help save lives -- click here to make your donation right now and make sure to put CWA in the Company/Organization Name field:
 
Your contribution will help Save the Children deliver food, water, shelter materials, medicines, hygiene kits, and other essentials during the first critical weeks of the post-disaster period. Then, as conditions allow and children's survival needs are being met, Save the Children will also use your generous gift to initiate and sustain long-term recovery programs that address the health, education, protection and well being of children in Haiti.
 
Please join your CWA brothers and sisters in supporting these lifesaving efforts. Click here to make your contribution:
 
Second, UnionPlus is matching donations dollar-for-dollar for Haiti Earthquake Relief
 
Maximize the power of your contribution by donating online and Union Plus will automatically double your contribution to the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center's Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers Fund. That means your $10 becomes $20, your $25 becomes $50 and your $100 becomes $200.
 
Union Plus has committed $100,000 through this dollar-for-dollar donation match to help Haitian earthquake relief efforts through the non-profit Solidarity Center. Contribute online through this link: Solidarity Center
 
Your donation will help rush life-saving relief supplies including food, clean water, medical supplies, blankets and tents to the Haitian people currently being distributed through the Confederation of Haitian Workers training center. 
 
Or send a check payable to "Solidarity Center Education Fund" to:
 
Solidarity Center Education Fund
Attn: Joan Welsh
888 16th Street, NW, Suite 400
Washington DC 20006
 
Please designate "Earthquake Relief Fund for Haitian Workers" in the memo line of the check 
 
*NO union dues will be used for the matching donation campaign.
