Supporting Immigrants' Rights

& Celebrating Immigration Stories

 

We're working with Perugia poet and Los Angeles resident Jackie Balderrama to raise funds for CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights) in L.A. Through August, proceeds from purchasing Jackie's Perugia book Now in Color from our website will be sent to CHIRLA. You can learn more about their work and donate directly here. This week, Jackie is recording poems from her Perugia book and sharing them

on Instagram as part of this effort. Below is a still from one.
