... that in 1976, Karen Ferguson founded the Pension Rights Center, a nonprofit pensioner advocacy organization, with encouragement and monetary support from Ralph Nader? Source: “After Ms. Ferguson worked as a Nader Raider, she became a consultant for the United Mine Workers of America. There she learned of efforts by industry groups to undercut the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the federal law that established minimum standards for pension plans in private industry. She called Mr. Nader to tell him about it. With that, he gave her $10,000 and told her to “go make pensions an issue.” She founded the Pension Rights Center in 1976 (he later provided an additional $30,000). One of several nonprofit advocacy organizations for which Mr. Nader provided seed money, it quickly became the nation’s central clearinghouse for pension-related matters.“

Nice collaboration. No image, lots of refs, length is good. Hook is fine (but I offer an alt, is it OK?) and the article is neutral. Earwig reported similarity with two sources but most of this is noun phrases. I think its good to go. Victuallers (talk) 10:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You should take them to Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request, fully formatted as a reference of course, and see if anyone else has alternative access to the below articles.
