Redistribute your wealth 💰💰 http://bit.ly/covidcommunityfund

The IAPALA COVID-19 Community Fund helps workers and their families with direct financial support.

$$ for the COVID-19 Community Fund will go directly to AAPI and immigrant workers who need our help - like Peejay.

Peejay is doing crucial work supporting incarcerated folks. Because he is under parole, Peejay is restricted to a 50 mile radius of travel, prohibiting him from visiting his family who have been hit hard by the pandemic through incarceration, unemployment, ineligibility for federal funds, and illness. Our fund was able to support his family.

Can you help us support workers + organizers in our communities?

8% of the US Postal Service workforce is AAPI. 40% are women.

These are GOOD UNION jobs 💪

For these workers - a USPS job has meant a steady income with adequate benefits to provide support to their families and communities.
