Unfortunately, with the clean-up of Hurricane Harvey just beginning, one natural disaster after another threatens our sisters and brothers in the South and Caribbean. By the time they have passed, these storms will have ripped the roofs off of homes, uprooted trees and brought down power lines. While some members and communities were blessed to have their homes and property spared, many others have suffered crippling losses from the storms.
We made the request earlier for donations to help those impacted by Harvey’s devastation in District 13, but unfortunately, the need continues. Whether it’s Steelworkers in the path of destructive storms, or future disasters, we need to band together to help where we can. The USW has set up an online fund for members to donate money directly to the United Steelworkers Charitable and Educational Fund. Every dollar raised will go to our many brothers and sisters in crisis.
Any amount you decide to donate will be very much appreciated and will make a huge difference to those whose lives have been upended. Again, thank you for your solidarity and generosity in this time of need.
