Support Santa Cruz families targeted by raid

On February 15th, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) raid occurred in Santa Cruz at 4:30am.  The road was blocked off with an armored personnel carrier, flashbang grenades were thrown, and people were lead away with hoods over their heads.

The DHS claims this was not an immigration-related raid, and that it is a coincidence that the people targeted were Latinx, but the clear intent was to strike fear into the hearts of the immigrant and non-immigrant community in Santa Cruz and beyond.

Money raised from this fundraiser will go towards supporting the families impacted by the raid.  The largest single cost will be for lawyer's fees, which can be as much a $250/hour.  Beyond that, the family is confronting other costs like replacing items damaged by the raid (i.e. the front door).

The distribution of funds raised will be entirely at the discretion of the family members.
