Creating a chain of solidarity together: fundraiser for the Common Front for Social Justice

Creating a chain of solidarity together!
Goal – $50,000
$40,000 already raised
Contribute before Christmas

The NB Common Front for Social Justice (CFSJ) works wholeheartedly in favour of destitute people. The goal of our projects is to improve living conditions for low-wage earners and socially assisted individuals, who live in poverty and are subject to prejudice, and to promote the implementation of social policies that address the needs of this group of people.

In pursuit of these goals, the CFSJ is launching a fundraising campaign under the theme, “Creating a chain of solidarity together”. Our objective is to collect $50,000, by contacting people like you who wish to see poverty decrease or disappear altogether. We hope you will be able to join us in forming a chain that will express our solidarity.

A chain is something solid, durable and a symbol of resistance. The strength of the entire chain is in direct relation to that of its links, so it’s important that each link be strong.

This chain will signify our collective social solidarity, while for the CFSJ, it represents the following values:

Ø our solid conviction in fighting for the common good;

Ø our enduring commitment to this work for over twelve years, and

Ø our solidarity with vulnerable people in our society when they are under attack.

Our chain of solidarity offers individuals and organizations an opportunity to demonstrate tangibly, through financial or in-kind contributions, their support for CFSJ projects and their solidarity with its members.

The chain of solidarity will consist of 100 links, each hooked up to its neighbour to form a chain of social solidarity. Your donation will of course depend on your means, but whether you give $10, $20, $50 or $100, your gift is the basic unit that will enable the creation of this unique chain, link by link. When a series of gifts amounts to $500, we will consider that we have built one link of the chain. The campaign will continue until we have built the 100 links that will complete our chain, and fulfill the $50,000 objective for our campaign.

You will be able to follow our chain-building effort by visiting our website at www.frontnb.ca, which also features a recognition page for donors to the chain of solidarity.

Let’s get to work together and build as many links as we can!

Ensemble, formons une chaine de solidarité!
Objectif – 50,000 $
Aujourd’hui nous avons recueilli plus de $40,000 $
Faites une contribution avant Noël

Le Front commun pour la justice sociale (FCJS) travaille ardemment à la cause des personnes démunies. Nos projets visent à améliorer la situation des bas-salariés et des assistés sociaux, des personnes pauvres et victimes de préjugés ainsi qu’à faire adopter certaines politiques sociales qui tiennent compte des besoins de ces personnes.

Pour atteindre ces objectifs, le FCJS lance une campagne de financement : « Ensemble, formons une chaine de solidarité ». Ainsi, nous visons à recueillir 50 000 $ auprès de personnes qui, comme vous, souhaitent voir la pauvreté reculer ou disparaître. Nous espérons que vous vous joindrez à notre chaine de solidarité.

Une chaine symbolise la fermeté, la durabilité et la résistance. La force d’une chaine complète est proportionnelle à celle de ses maillons, d’où l’importance de la force de chacun d’eux. La chaine se veut être un symbole de solidarité sociale.

Voici ce qu’elle représente pour le FCJS :

Ø la fermeté de ses convictions dans sa lutte pour le bien commun;

Ø la durabilité de son travail qui se poursuit depuis plus de douze années;

Ø la solidarité avec les gens vulnérables de notre société lorsqu’ils sont attaqués.

La chaine de solidarité est un moyen concret pour des individus et des organismes de démontrer, par une contribution financière ou par un don en nature, leur soutien aux projets de FCJS ainsi que leur solidarité avec ses membres.

La chaine de solidarité sera formée de 100 maillons, s’entrelaçant les uns dans les autres, pour bâtir une chaine de solidarité sociale. Bien entendu, le don que vous ferez sera selon vos moyens. Les contributions, qu’elles soient de 10$, de 20$, de 50 $, de 100$ ou plus, seront les éléments de base qui permettront de bâtir, maillon par maillon, cette importante chaine de solidarité. Quand une série de dons atteindront le total de 500 $, nous conclurons que nous avons bâti un maillon de la chaine. La campagne continuera et la chaine sera complète quand elle aura 100 maillons, soit l’objectif de notre campagne de 50 000 $.

Vous pourrez suivre la progression du montage de la chaine en consultant notre site web (www.frontnb.ca). Vous y trouverez également un tableau de reconnaissance de celles et de ceux qui auront contribué à la chaine de solidarité.

Mettons-nous ensemble au travail et formons de nombreux maillons!
