Resilience is deeply rooted in the Latino community. Latinos are diverse in background, with so many having deep roots in our country that predates them to our land before the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty was signed. Some Latinos immigrated to the United States to escape poverty, war, and political persecution, searching for better lives and opportunities. They did not know the language or have job opportunities here waiting for them. Time and time again, Latinos have risen even when faced with inequities and discrimination. And today, once again, we are helping push America forward as entrepreneurs and frontline workers.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 has struck the community disproportionally, but our community has continued to show its strength and resilience by coming together and helping one another.
Because of you, LULAC can give people the resources to purchase groceries and essential items they need to face this devastating time. On behalf of them, thank you for your commitment to supporting LULAC in our fight to advance the civil rights of 60 million Latinos in the US and Puerto Rico. This past year, LULAC directly provided relief to 14,000 people, contributed laptops to 400 students, hosted Hunger Relief efforts, and provided groceries to over 6,000 individuals in need.
We can't thank you enough for your donation to our campaign!
Best,
Aileen Marquez
