Targeted family in Santa Cruz needs support!
As many of you may already know, a family in Santa Cruz was targeted by the Department of Homeland Security with a brutal, forceful, early-morning raid that was done under the guise of a criminal investigation in February 2019. None of the individuals targeted are suspects, and all were detained and interrogated for hours with no lawyers, with the majority of questions being related to immigration.

This family continues to suffer based on this raid. Both wage earners have lost their jobs and the family has mounting health and legal bills as a direct effect of the raid, including dealing with hearing loss and vision issues from the flashbang grenades.
Here are two ways you can support these community members in the aftermath:
1) Donate.
Please give what you can to show them that the Santa Cruz community shows up for each other!
2) Share.
Please share the fundraiser on your social media to widen the family's circle of support. Let's send the message that we will not leave anyone alone in the aftermath of violent, racist targeting by DHS, ICE, or any other repressive force.
During these times, unity and mutual support are some of the most important ways we can respond. Let's show up strong.
Love + Solidarity,
YARR
