Presente Maine Community Defense Fund

Most of us are unable to luxuriate in celebration or in reflection. Instead, we fight for our lives.

Disportionately essential workers, with hospitalization rates four times that of white Americans, Latinx families see no end in sight.

One global health expert said that the coronavirus is causing "the historic decimation" of the Latino community, ravaging generations of loved ones in Latinx families.

These loved ones of ours have continued harvesting, cleaning, processing, packing and cooking your food with no reprieve. Respite is impossible. Rent debts accumulate. Infection rates rise.

Donate so we can survive through the pandemic. 1500 people in our community have not received a penny of pandemic relief. Not the stimulus, not pandemic unemployment. Not GA, not TANF, not food stamps. We have been in crisis long before March. You've just only noticed.
