We are 4 first-time marathon runners. We have decided to dedicate this challenge that we are taking on to VOZ Workers Rights Education Project. VOZ, A worker rights organization in Portland, OR is in crisis after a funder gave it a choice: Cut your ties with an ally group because it supports marriage equality or don't receive our $75,000 grant.
But instead of being divided, VOZ told the funder it would prefer to lose its grant than lose its principles.
Now it's scrambling to find how it will provide health insurance to its staff and keep alive its state-wide campaign to stop wage theft. Voz is a worker-led organization that empowers immigrants and day laborers to gain control over their working conditions. At the root of that mission, is the pursuit of justice and equality for ALL immigrants and day laborers.
The four of us are running the Portland Marathon on October 5th and have a goal to raise $3000 to do our part to help VOZ fill the gap that is left without the CCHD funding. Help us reach our goal!
With lots of appreciation, Marilou, Lizzie, Caitlin, and Alexa
