With the White House and government officials taking an increasingly hard line on immigration and border security, eight California charities working on behalf of immigrants have formed a new coalition to raise money.
The California United Fund, as the collective fundraising effort is called, will debut its first campaign on Giving Tuesday, which motivates people to support charities on the fifth day after the Thanksgiving holiday. Donations will be shared equally among the eight organizations.
The seven others are: Asian Americans Advancing Justice (Los Angeles), Council on American-Islamic Relations (Sacramento), Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (Ontario), Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance (Los Angeles), PICO California (Oakland), Services, Immigrant Rights & Education Network (San Jose and Fresno), and the United Farmworker Foundation (Los Angeles).
