Every dollar donated up to $25,000 will be matched! Stand in solidarity with migrants today.
I’ve been a bit paralyzed lately. Maybe you have, too?
I know from my touring that there are a lot of folks out there who are freaked out about the state of our country, and frankly about the state of decency in our country.
But I also know that being paralyzed doesn’t help me feel any better, and it doesn’t help my family, friends and neighbors, either. So this holiday, my wife Theresa and I are inviting you to DO SOMETHING. With us.
Al Otro Lado helps migrants on both sides of the US-Mexico border. That means legal assistance, humanitarian assistance, family reunification. Direct support for people who are coming to our country, being forced out of our country or caught in between. People in open-air detention centers. Deportees dropped in Tijuana without money or food. Asylum seekers who need someone to help them through a border crossing. Parents who’ve been torn away from their children.
Let’s support them. Let’s care for our neighbors. Let’s be decent.
Maybe you can find a thousand dollars in your budget. Maybe you can find ten or twenty. Chipping in is what matters. Whatever you’ve got, give, and Theresa and I will match you dollar-for-dollar. We’re far from rich, but we have some savings, and I am so happy and proud we can use some of it to support the work Al Otro Lado is doing.
I’m really excited about this. I think we can make a difference here. And I know that there is liberation in simply doing something.
Thanks for joining us, it means the world.
