New York State Correction Officers are leading one of the most significant labor strikes in the state’s history, affecting 39 of 42 correctional facilities. They are fighting for essential safety measures, fair working conditions, and the right to work without the constant fear of harm. Many Correction officers will lose pay and face financial penalties during the strike. To support them, an Emergency Relief GoFundMe has been set up: https://gofund.me/3640d282

Where Will the Funds Go?
100% of all donations will directly assist officers who are actively participating in the strike. Funds will be distributed based on financial need, with priority given to those at risk of losing their homes, struggling to feed their families, or facing immediate financial hardship.
