This includes setting up a hotline to report ICE raids and other activity in our neighborhoods, monthly asylum clinics, prenatal support, wage theft clinics, policy advocacy, and more. More volunteers are always needed, so please sign up today! https://www.dcmigrantmutualaid.org/donate ~~~ABOUT GAZA CHAMPIONS~~~ Gaza Champions is a mutual aid network rooted in friendship and collective action directly connected with families in Gaza and with each other. As champions for their fundraising efforts, we support their daily survival while building meaningful relationships across borders.
