Immigrant Cooperative Development Project

I'm writing to ask your support for an import new initiative. As immigrants face increasing threat of deportation, my friend Billy Peard, an immigration lawyer (and the board chair for Nuestras Raices in Holyoke), is launching an immigrant cooperative venture, a non-profit where immigrants will pay in a small amount to become part of the cooperative, others of us will also donate, and if any of the immigrant members is picked up, the co-op will post bail and provide legal support. Billy is looking for help putting up a website, setting up a database, organizing mobilization teams who will respond if someone is picked up, and help spreading the word. Please complete this survey to let him know how you'd like to be involved! You can also call or email me with your answers, if you'd prefer.

Thanks,

Lynn Benander
