SPOKANE RELIEF FUND FOR UNDOCUMENTED FAMILIES

THE SPOKANE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS COALITION IS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE A RELIEF FUND TO PROVIDE DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO UNDOCUMENTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

WHILE WASHINGTON STATE IS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE BILLIONS IN FINANCIAL RELIEF THANKS TO THE FEDERAL AID PACKAGES APPROVED BY CONGRESS, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND THOSE IN MIXED-STATUS FAMILIES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY FEDERAL FUNDS, NOT EVEN IF THEY HAVE PAID TAXES USING THEIR IRS-ISSUED INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (ITIN). UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN WASHINGTON STATE PAY OVER $300 MILLION IN STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. MANY ARE WORKING NOW AS ESSENTIAL WORKERS IN THE FRONTLINE OF THIS PANDEMIC.

LET'S UNITE AND SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY
MEMBERS. DONATE TODAY!
