Emergency $ for Kids & Families Affected by ICE Enforcement

Tax deductible
On Monday, July 21, the Market Basket store in the North End of New Bedford began dismissing its Central American employees as a result of an I-9 audit. The store confirmed that this was directly related to ICE activities. At least 47 employees lost their jobs, without adequate warning as usually required under law. Check this story for more details.

CCT needs your donation, now more than ever -- so we can support these workers and their families, along with the children and families of over 40 community members who are still in ICE detention.

We started this GoFundMe campaign in March, after agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stormed a car wash in New Bedford on March 11 and arrested three Guatemalan workers.

Since then, there have been several additional ICE raids in our community, including two that have involved physical violence.

We know that the government has its eye on communities like ours, with large numbers of vulnerable immigrants and their children.

Your donations will help these workers and their families:
  • pay rent and utility bills
  • purchase food
  • secure bond for the detainees
  • find legal counsel

Please give as generously as you can and help us out by sharing with your contacts!!
