Last summer I was illegally fired, from a job I relied on to make ends meet, in retaliation for union activity.

While I've filed labor charges, they're still in process. A historic number of union fights has meant the labor board is historically backed up. There's also an abundance of evidence for them to go through.

I've stretched the funds I raised last summer, but as it stands my savings will run out in a few weeks. While I've made some progress pursuing other work I'm a trans woman who's higher-risk for covid, so it's often difficult.

I'm trying to raise enough to make sure I can stay housed, pay the bills, afford food and stay on HRT while I continue this labor fight.
