Pamela, Yesterday, Progress America members raised over $25,000 for the SAFE Alliance shelter that was providing refuge for over 300 families during the Texas climate emergency. They'll be able to get the necessary drinking water, baby wipes, and repairs that they need. Thank you. Another partner on the ground in Texas gave us another update for how we can help: The power is coming back on, but the drinking water won't be back to normal for some time.1 Our friends at Masks for America are partnering with local groups in Houston, TX to provide water filtration systems and PPE to hundreds of families without clean water. These families have burst pipes, are just regaining heat and electricity, and need immediate help.   If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately: Chip in $15 now Chip in $25 now Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now Chip in $250 now other amount Our local Latino and indigenous partners at T.E.J.A.S and Sierra Club, in partnership with Masks For America, have been distributing emergency relief throughout the week, but with store shelves completely bare and no clear idea when clean water will be restored, local Houston families with young children desperately need your support. With your help, we can deliver hundreds of masks, gloves, hand sanitizer to protect against COVID-19, and Lifestraw water filtration bags that require zero heat or power + can filter bacteria, parasites and chemicals from one gallon of water every 10 minutes. Can you rush a donation to Masks for America today? 100% of the funds raised will go directly to aid for families in Texas. These families are trying to rebuild after burst pipes, hours-long lines for basic necessities, and infrastructure failures that are preventing the people of Houston, TX from accessing clean water for the foreseeable future. If you are in a position to help, please give generously.
