We’re reaching out today to ask if you will split a donation between the Asian Community Emergency Relief Fund and MassUndocuFund — two organizations providing resources directly to folks in need during this public health crisis.
We know times are tough for families across the MA-7 and around the country. They’re especially challenging for our immigrant and undocumented neighbors, who face unique challenges in accessing high-quality, culturally competent health care, and many of whom were left out of the support offered by The Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
Undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive federal assistance or unemployment benefits — Ayanna is fighting to change that in Washington. But, in the meantime, it’s up to us to do everything we can to be supportive of our undocumented neighbors during this uprecedented time.
The MassUndocuFund is working to support and provide economic relief to our undocmented neighbors in Massachusetts who have lost their jobs, are ineligible for federal assistance, and face barriers to accessing health care and other critical services.
The Asian Community Emergency Relief Fund is providing immediate relief to members of the Asian Pacific Islander American community who aren’t eligible to receive public benefits and are in urgent financial need to pay for essential living expenses.
40 percent of the residents in the Massachusetts’ 7th are immigrants, and — like so many others — they are facing enormous challenges during this pandemic. Let’s show them that they are a part of our community and our movement for justice.
Thank you for your support. We hope that you are staying safe and healthy.
In solidarity,
The A-Team
