This fund is a joint effort between the Education Minnesota Foundation, Education Minnesota, SEIU Local 284 and ISAIAH to raise dollars to help school and child care workers who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
About the School and Child Care Worker Relief Fund
The Education Minnesota Foundation, Education Minnesota, SEIU Local 284 and ISAIAH’s Kids Count On Us Coalition have launched a fund to help school workers, child care workers and educators who have been laid off by their districts, under the threat of being laid off or have had to close their child care centers due to the current COVID-19 crisis. Most importantly, we know that these workers are disproportionately women and people of color. It is imperative that our union and the larger labor movement see this as an opportunity to be genuine allies in the fight for racial, gender and economic justice, and provide support to our most vulnerable school workers.
