LULAC Launches Website To Help The Latino Community Access Critical COVID-19
Information And Resources
============================================================================


Nation’s Oldest & Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Launches Online
Platform to provide individuals impacted by COVID-19 with resources and important
information

Washington, DC - The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is proud to
announce the launch of the LULAC@Home [ [link removed] ] website to
provide critical information and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. LULAC
specifically created this tool for Latino communities across the country to
remain connected and obtain relevant information with the click of a button. The
webpage offers the Latino community up-to-the-minute and streamlined information
that users can access from a computer, laptop, or mobile device, in English and
Spanish. LULAC@Home is organized into the following sections:

* I Need Help [ [link removed] ] - for those seeking
information on financial assistance, unemployment benefits, and food banks

* I Want to Help [ [link removed] ] - for those
interested in making donations or volunteering

* Health and Well-Being [ [link removed] ] - information on
physical and mental health resources

* Elder Care [ [link removed] ] - information on how to
care for older adults

* Children, Teens and Families [ [link removed] ] -
information explaining COVID-19 to children with disabilities, parent and
caregiver guides, anti-bias education, and distance learning

* Virtual Events and Learning [ [link removed] ] -
information on LULAC conference calls and virtual meetings for updates

* Take Action [ [link removed] ] - information on
advocacy efforts and how to get involved

* What Partners Are Doing [ [link removed] ] -
information on available resources regarding bilingual information access,
internet access, phone service, employment, and hours of operation for some
stores

* News [ [link removed] ] - for the latest news on
COVID-19 updates

LULAC President Domingo Garcia issued the following statement on the release of
the LULAC@Home portal [ [link removed] ] :

“We know that our community has a lot of questions during this unprecedented and
difficult moment. That is why we created this website, to house the critical
information that our Latino community can use in this time of crisis. LULAC is
working diligently on helping address these needs. As a first step, we’ve created
this central place where people can go to learn more about the resources
available to them during the coronavirus pandemic.

“For more than 90 years, LULAC Members across the country have been working
together to meet hard challenges with concrete solutions. LULAC continues to
fight for equity in sick leave, unemployment compensation, compensation from the
COVID-19 Rescue Bills in Congress, and ensuring that Latino and minority-owned
businesses are supported. We are fighting to ensure that COVID-19 testing and
treatment are 100% covered by our federal government for every individual. We are
working to ensure that using health care services won't make them a ‘public
charge,’ and used against those applying for U.S. residency. No one can be safe
if our most vulnerable are left without testing and treatment, or discriminated
against for seeking help.

“We thank all of those who have supported LULAC throughout the years and have
demonstrated faith and trust in our mission to build community and care for those
most in need. That is what makes this all possible. Please follow CDC guidelines [ [link removed] ]
and visit this webpage for more information on how to take care of yourself and
your loved ones during these uncertain times. We wish you and your family safety,
health and well-being. Let’s look ahead knowing that together we will continue to
build a better future.”
