You have probably been following the news about the surge of migrants and asylum seekers who have been arriving in El Paso recently as well as the court battles around Title 42 and our country's immigration and asylum policies.
While we can't control the outcome in the courts, there is something we can do this holiday season to relieve the suffering these families — many of whom have traveled thousands of miles by foot to escape crushing poverty, brutal violence or political repression — are going through.
Our local independent online newspaper, El Paso Matters, has put together a list of opportunities to help meet the demand we have in our community. There are many ways to help, from giving money to volunteering (and volunteers are in high demand right now).
Please take a moment to learn more and find a way to contribute: https://elpasomatters.org/2022/12/16/how-to-help-migrants-el-paso-texas-organizations/
My best to you and your family over the holidays,
Beto
