Puerto Rico and Mexico Disaster Relief

La Familia, as a founding member of UnidosUS (formerly NCLR), has always supported Latino communities through research, policy, and local, state and national advocacy efforts, as well as in our programs throughout Alameda County and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. In light of the tragic earthquake disaster in Mexico leaving hundreds dead, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico, we are working statewide and nationally to raise money for immediate relief and support of policies that aid Mexico and 3.4 million Puerto Rican US citizens so that they can not only recover but improve their conditions.
