$100,000 committed to AFL-CIO
Solidarity Center
Maximize
the power of your contribution by visiting UnionPlus.org/Haiti and Union
Plus will automatically double your contribution to the Solidarity Center.
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.
“Despite
the millions of dollars raised already, the people of Haiti continue
to need our help. That’s why we are committing $100,000 to double the donations
made by union members to the Solidarity
Center,” Union Plus
President Leslie Tolf said.
The
Solidarity Center is providing immediate
life-saving relief supplies including food, clean water, medical supplies,
blankets and tents to the Haitian people. Goods
are currently being delivered to the Confederation of Haitian Workers training
center, which is providing shelter, food, and medical assistance to more than
200 people.
Donations

Center Education Fund, Attn: Joan Welsh, 888 16th Street, N.W., Suite 400, Washington,
DC, 20006.
Please designate "Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers" in the memo
line of the check.
