Support Us/Apoyanos
Familias Unidas en Acción, Bancha Lenguas Language Justice Collective, and Cooperation New Orleans have been collectively building the cooperative ecosystem in New Orleans since the summer of 2019. Since early March, we have expanded our solidarity efforts to support Familias Unidas en Accion, a New Orleans- based group of immigrant families, during the Covid-19 pandemic. We need your help to support families, especially those with young children, who are in need of food and economic aid. Most people in New Orleans have lost their jobs due to Covid-19; this crisis is hitting our immigrant community particularly hard. In addition, undocumented and very low-income people will not be eligible for the funds provided by the federal government relief package.
