Hi everyone,

I'll get right to it: Our industry is staring down another year of uncertainty with H-2B, and the only way we can protect our businesses, our employees, and our fairs is by stepping up right now.

We need the resources to push Congress to finish the job and secure real, permanent H-2B relief, while allowing us to utilize the P-Visa program. Advocacy works — but only when we fuel it. Every contribution, large or small, strengthens our voice and keeps our equipment open, our routes stable, and our people working.

If you've ever said, “someone needs to fix this,” this is the moment. We are the someone.

Please consider making a political donation today so we can continue fighting for the labor our industry depends on. Your OABA board as well as additional members are making a strategic visit to Washington beginning Tuesday December 9 and Wednesday Dec. 10, to visit congressional offices, as well as attend three fundraisers for key players in getting our P-visa across the finish line. Don't expect someone else to continue to carry the weight, we need a collective effort. Please donate to one of the following three fundraisers and let us know that you have done so.  

Donation links are at the bottom of each linked document.
