A Mutual Aid Fund to support fellow former New York Transit Museum employees who were impacted by Coronavirus related layoffs.

About


 In the first week of March 2021, the New York Transit Museum eliminated the positions of at least 24 employees - full-time and part-time - effective immediately, without notice. As a result, many of the laid-off employees lost their main source of income and health insurance during a pandemic. 

The New York Transit Museum Mutual Aid Fund aims to help employees affected by the recent lay-offs. Funds will help cover rent, ease the impact of medical bills, and help those with reduced cash flow. Our initial goal of $5,000 is meant to support colleagues as they navigate the challenges of unemployment. Increased goals will provide additional assistance. If there are funds remaining after all needs are met, those funds will be donated to Transportation Alternatives, as a part of our love for transit history and the people who create it.

***We have reached our initial $5000 goal, thank you so much to everyone for your generosity! Based on the current applications, we are now increasing the goal to $6500. ***

We want the Museum to survive this pandemic, but we also believe in sustaining and supporting employees who have dedicated themselves to the Museum. Please support the fund via donations on Open Collective. 

The views, opinions, and activities expressed and represented in this fundraiser are those of the individual organizers. The New York Transit Museum and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority are in no way affiliated with this fund.
