The officers of the ILWU are asking you to make a voluntary contribution to the ILWU Political Action Fund (PAF). The purpose of the fund is to make expenditures in federal elections to protect and advance the interests of ILWU members and the entire ILWU community.
Your contribution is voluntary and is separate from your union dues and is not a condition of membership. No favor or disadvantage will result from contributing or refusing to do so, and you are free to contribute more or less than the suggested amounts. Your contribution is not tax-deductible.
