The people who do this work are really important for our news about things that happen around the world. The campaign says that some of these workers are now, in trouble because they have to deal with a lot of safety problems and it is very hard for them to do their jobs because of the layoffs.
The money that is raised will go towards paying for things like rent and legal help. It will also be used to help people move to countries. They will need a place to store their things too. There are a lot of important things that need to be taken care of when people have to move quickly. Lee is the one who is organizing all of this.
