We need your help!
The past couple weeks have been a tough battle to stop anti-immigrant and racist policy from making it through the Wisconsin State Legislature. Tomorrow, thousands of Latino families, advocates and allies will come together at the State Capitol in Madison to speak out against these policies and to lift up the many ways the Latino community betters the lives of all Wisconsinites. The gathering is called A Day Without Latinos. People from all around the stand are standing together with Latinos because we know our lives are interconnected.
We now have four full buses heading to Madison from Appleton tomorrow morning. We are astounded by the outpouring of support! Local businesses, organizations, and individuals have come forward to help fund the buses, but we aren't quite there yet!
We are asking you—especially if you want to stand in support of this action but cannot make it to Madison—to sponsor the fourth bus. We need to raise $500
If you can give $10, $25, $50, $100 or more, you would be part of making this day possible!

Your gift is tax deductible. If we receive funds that exceed the cost of the bus, we will direct that additional support to leadership training and support of Latino organizing in the Fox Valley area.
Thank you for all that you do to make ESTHER an organization that can be strong and flexible enough to quickly direct our energies into this critical work! Sí, se puede!
