Dear Friends,

For the foreseeable future, the way we think about our Latino community will
truly be different. What hasn’t changed are our values, commitment, and sense of
responsibility to one another. It’s this shared sense of unity that will bring
our community together and make us stronger together.

impacted by the COVID-19 and government response to the crisis. [ [link removed] ]

As we watch the coronavirus crisis unfold in the US, we are witnessing a new
reality take shape. No one knows exactly what lies ahead in this uncharted
territory. Yet one thing is certain, this crisis will have a dramatic impact on
the Latino community, our most vulnerable, especially isolated seniors, immigrant
communities, Latino families and single-parent households, those currently living
paycheck to paycheck, and small Latino owned businesses.

For over 90 years, LULAC was on the front lines, fighting for the rights of every
Latino across the country. We are on the front lines fighting for civil rights,
equity in our education system, voting rights, immigrant, environmental, economic
justice, immigration reform, and against voter suppression.

Today we find ourselves fighting for equity in sick leave, unemployment
compensation, stimulus compensation, small Latino and minority owned businesses
and for everyone affected by this crisis. Make no mistake, legislation working
its way through Congress right now will change the landscape of our economy, by
picking winners and losers. If it fails, our country may fall into a depression
we have not seen in generations with Latinos falling further behind after making
significant strides over the last decade.

Most importantly, we are fighting to ensure that COVID-19 testing and treatment
are 100% covered by our Federal government for every person in the United States
and that testing and treatment cannot be used as a public charge against any
person who has applied for a Green Card or will do so in the future. No one can
be safe if our most vulnerable are left without treatment.

The enormity of the COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment where our Latino
community is heeding warnings and observing social distancing. For all of us,
this disruption of our normal lives can bring us further away from the things we
cherish spiritually, educationally, culturally and socially.

In an effort to bridge these gaps and bring the Latino community together, we
have created a Coronavirus Community Resources Page at lulac.org/covid19 [ [link removed] ]
to share our collective community resources, informing you of what is available
remotely in the form of online learning, virtual events, volunteer opportunities
and all the ways you can continue to connect from home.

For more than 90 years our LULAC community has been working together to solve
problems and meet the needs of the Latino community and we have proven that by
working together as a people we can meet every challenge. We know that our safety
net of vital programs and services will see a dramatic rise in demand in the days
and weeks ahead and that the need will be greater than the available resources.

As a result, LULAC is working with partners and local agencies to develop plans
to ensure that the most vital services remain operational. Our desire is to
safeguard our most vulnerable populations as they continue to receive urgent
services; including meal deliveries for isolated seniors, emergency counseling
across all populations and assistance for those facing serious unforeseen
financial crises.

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
in need. Your support makes this all possible. [ [link removed] ]

As we go forward together under these unprecedented circumstances, let us be
mindful of our need to continue to maintain the connections we have with one
another and our community. Think about how you can engage with others, support
one another and continue to help care for those in need. We are all learning
together and welcome any feedback you may have during this period. Please write
to us at [email protected] with your feedback and recommendations.

Stay safe, stay healthy and take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Hasta La Victoria,

Domingo Garcia
LULAC National President
