Now more than ever, in the season of Passover and as Covid-19 intensifies hardship for immigrants and the Latinx community, Becca and Don, Steve and Florencia, Mario, Anita and Lenny invite you to an (online) fund raising party. We are supporting Voces de la Frontera's crucial grass roots work in the Madison/Dane County area to protect rights, respond to needs, and get out the vote.
For the last three years, Congregation Shaarei Shamayim has successfully raised money for Voces de la Frontera to do organizing work in Madison. Each year we raised more than $50,000 which has allowed Voces to have a dedicated staff person to work in Dane County. The Voces Get Out The Vote effort to turn out 20,000 Latinx voters is a core part of their work between now and November.
First, we'll raise vital funds for the work of Voces while respecting the current need for social distance. Later, when in-person community gatherings become possible, we will hold a house party to celebrate success and Voces, and to enjoy one another together.
