We are the ones staying up late trying to figure out how to stretch a paycheck. We’ve skipped meals so our kids could eat. We’ve delayed filling a prescription to keep a roof overhead. We’ve relied on food pantries when hours at work were cut — not because we failed, but because the system failed us.
Across Maryland — from Baltimore neighborhoods to rural towns in Western and Central Maryland — poor and working-class families are facing a crisis that policymakers created. Poverty is now one of the top four leading causes of death in the United States. And while our communities struggle to survive, the Federal government is cutting SNAP, Medicaid, and critical food programs. Food pantries that once served as lifelines are now being told they must pay $500 per delivery. The Maryland Food Bank has warned hunger will more than double.
These aren’t accidents. They are political decisions — choices that sacrifice our health and dignity to protect profits and power.
We refuse to accept this.
United Workers is a human rights organization led by poor and working-class people uniting across race, region, and party lines. We are building the movement we need — one rooted in people most affected by this crisis, not charity or pity. Our Projects of Survival food distributions are not handouts. They are organizing spaces — places where we protect each other, grow leaders, and turn shared struggle into shared power.
Every contribution you make helps feed families today and strengthens a grassroots movement to defend our Right to Health tomorrow.
This campaign is how we fight back:
$25 supplies a grocery bag and fuels organizing conversations
$50 fills a tank for outreach to rural communities
$100 supports food deliveries and leadership training
$500 sustains a site for a month
$1,000 keeps a site open for two months
$6,000 funds a distribution and leadership development for a full year
We are building a united front across Maryland — bringing together Black, white, and brown communities, urban and rural, Democrats, Republicans, and independents — rooted in the same truth: hunger, illness, and poverty are political conditions, and we are organizing to change them.
We walk in the legacy of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman — people who refused to accept systems designed to keep us down. Today, we build our own Underground Railroad to freedom from hunger, poverty, and all forms of neglect.
This is our movement. Our dignity. Our right to health. And we are inviting you to stand with us.
Join us. Fuel this movement. Fight for the Right to Health.
