The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated and deepened inequities that already existed in our community. Federal and state laws disqualified undocumented residents from receiving this spring's stimulus checks and continued unemployment benefits.  In episode 3 of the What Matters Video Podcast, our guests discuss why aid was restricted, why this type of funding is vital to our community, and why our donors felt compelled to support this work.   

Special guests: Melinda Wiggins, Executive Director of Student Action with Farmworkers and Foundation Board Member; Michelle Bermeo Betancourt, Development Manager of El Pueblo; Bob Healy, semi-retired Professor of Environmental Policy at Duke University; and Kay Edgar, retired CPA and financial planner, both fundholders at the Foundation [Foundation staff: Ebony West and Laurel Shulman]
