Community Catalyst United - CCU

The last month has been really heavy at CCU. As our staff union has been collectively working to mitigate layoffs, one of our union siblings is also navigating multiple systemic barriers to their livelihood.

Every day, our members show up for communities navigating structural harm, advocating at national, state, and local levels for equitable policies. Like many other nonprofits in this field, our organization has intentionally engaged in efforts to bring people with lived experience and representative of communities disproportionately harmed from the systems we’re trying to change, into our work. When systems and policies fall short, the union is an opportunity to support people as whole people.

Through no fault of their own, our member is caught in bureaucratic delays impacting the immigration system, including DACA recipients. While we continue our work to change systems, we are supporting real immediate needs.

If you are able, please consider contributing.
If you cannot give, please consider sharing widely.
Every action helps build the kind of collective protection our systems refuse to provide.

Today we highlight Ray & why CCU is important to them. CCU is committed to our members’! Thank you Ray for sharing with us. 💚
