The fires that are happening California are devastating to our members. An official state of emergency has been declared as there are hundreds of wildfires continue to blaze throughout the State. More than 120,000 acres of land have been scorched in both Northern and Southern California.
Many have been left without power to the unprecedented heatwave that has consumed our State and made the air quality dip below dangerous levels. The horrific environment that has been affecting our Union Brothers and Sisters is the reason I am reaching out to you. We need to come together as a Family and help when and where we can.
District 9 has set up a CWA Disaster Wildfire Relief 2020 Fund to help CWA members impacted by the fires. Every dollar donated to the CWA District 9 Disaster Wildfire Relief 2020 Fund will go directly to assist CWA members in need of shelter, clothing and household basics.
You can donate to the wildfire fund here: www.cwa-union.org/ca-wildfires
Checks may be made out to the CWA District 9 Disaster Wildfire Relief 2020 Fund and mailed to:
CWA Local 9404
Attn: Ginny Raines
195 Glen Cove Marina Rd, Suite 101
Vallejo, CA 94591
Donations are not tax deductible.
The national CWA Disaster Relief Fund also will help our members hurt by the fires. Click here to get the relief fund documents.
It will take years for CWA families to recover and rebuild their lives. Please help our brothers and sisters by making a contribution.
In Unity, Frank Arce, Vice President
