Trip to DC – Mutual Aid to Migrants From TX/AZ
October 14, 2022 – October 16, 2022
Since April 2022, the governors of Texas and Arizona have been bussing migrants to Union Station in Washington, DC and dropping them off without the benefit of resources to help them travel to their sponsors in other parts of the country. Since neither the federal or local governments are providing aid, a group of organizations and individuals have organized to provide mutual aid to the migrants; providing them with food, cell phones, temporary lodging, toiletries, clothing and other necessities. Hope 4 Humanity (H4H) will be taking a group of folks to DC to help with and learn from the mutual aid movement, October 14-16, 2022.
Travel will be provided by H4H and lodging and meals will be at the expense of the participant. H4H will reserve an Airbnb or a block of hotel rooms. Some scholarship funds are available.
We will take as many items with as we can to help. Here are a list of items needed:
Men’s clothing (underwear, shoes, belts, etc)
Cell Phones/ cell phone minutes
Women’s menstrual items
Toiletries
Back packs
