I want to write about the immigration battle drawing huge crowds of pro-immigrant supporters to the streets around the country but I have not yet studied the proposed legislation. While I catch up and find a way to provide searing yet humorous commentary (natch), I wanted to highlight another way we can all help our Latino brothers and sisters. Donate to the LUL Foundation! The LUL Foundation is a non-profit volunteer run scholarship organization that provides financial assistance to bright Latino college students across the country. Since our founding in 1999, we (I'm merely the webmaster) have awarded over $70,000 in scholarships and grants. This is what Larissa Mercado-López, one of our recent scholars had to say about LULF:
“As a mother of two young children, a full-time Ph.D. student, and a research assistant, I am grateful for any assistance that comes my way. Thank you, for not only helping students like me, but for existing. It is organizations such as this one that exemplify some of the best characteristics of the Latina/o community - extended support, dedication, loyalty, and unity.”
As an IRS designated public charity, donations are fully tax deductible. Your help is greatly appreciated. For more information and to donate, please click here.
