A Message from Jeff Furman on Making Our Community Stronger

From Jeff Furman, longtime Ithaca resident and longtime activist on the issue of a Living Wage for all:

“The Tompkins County Workers’ Center is a nationally recognized leader in advancing the rights and dignity of working people. Many area workers earn a living wage due to its efforts, making our community stronger. Now the center is looking to establish that wage for all workers in Tompkins County, a bold idea that is springing up across the country.

Jeff Furman is the Board Chair of the Ben and Jerry's Homemade, Inc. and has long and successfully striven to ensure that Ben and Jerry's be a Living Wage Employer.

As an area resident I am proud to be a long-time supporter of the Center. As it enters the final days of its annual fundraising campaign I hope you will join with me and many others in making a contribution to the Tompkins County Workers’ Center so it may continue its vital work.”
