Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Support Labor Standards Ordinance

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I write to you as a constituent asking that you support the Labor Standards Ordinance "as is."

Our workers need you to fight for maintaining the payment of prevailing wages and benefits because you respect and value their labor.

Thank you for recognizing the dignity and basic human right to desirable work.

For justice,
