In response to the family separation crisis that has dominated the news, ICF announced a campaign to support immigrants and asylum seekers in our San Diego-Tijuana border community.
Immigration is at the forefront of our headlines, yet we rarely hear about the impact on our neighboring cities in Mexico, like Tijuana, where a robust network of grassroots organizations has been supporting migrants in transit and deportees for decades.
Thanks to the support of our donor community, over the past 8 weeks we have raised approximately $22,000 for two local organizations supporting migrants in San Diego: Casa Cornelia Immigration Law Center and San Diego Organizing Project.
Together with the $10,000 in grants from the Latina Giving Circle fund and $20,000 from a major donor, ICF has deployed $52,000 in support of immigrant communities in San Diego! We need your support for the important work that Casa Cornelia and SDOP are spearheading in San Diego. Their work is far from done.
On the other side, Tijuana's small but mighty network of civil society organizations has been welcoming migrants and deportees and making sure their basic needs are met. And now more than ever they need our help!
