The Support Series is an ongoing series of online fundraisers in support of social & racial justice organizations. This month we are raising money and support for La Colaborativa, an amazing nonprofit in Chelsea, whose mission is to empower Latinx immigrants in Massachusetts to enhance the social and economic health of their communities and people; and to hold institutional decision-makers accountable to the communities they serve.
We you encourage you to learn more about La Colaborativa and their wide ranging programs, which include Covid-19 response, voter registration, tenant rights, and more! DONATE
