Thanks to all the listeners of #inthebubble today we sent a check for $19,000 to Project Ayuda in the Central Valley of California.

centralvalleycf.org/project-ayuda/

Let me tell you why.

Project Ayuda offers disaster relief payments to undocumented residents, many of them farm workers & their families.

Make no mistake. They are in this country to pick our crops & grow our food that we all take for granted. And they are dying in record #s.

COVID is ravaging these areas. And now the orange skies and unhealthy air is too. The nature of the work is ungodly heat, backbreaking manual labor & poor living conditions.

And the Central Valley, CA among our country’s biggest hot spots.

Despite being in our country to feed us, they are of course ineligible for any federal aid. So they have no choice but to work when sick.

Thanks to the vision of the @Hewlett_Found, a grant program has been established.

This is our third gift from #inthebubble listeners. The others were to:

@WCKitchen
@NCovid19relief

We donate 100% of the show’s profits. $43,000 since July. Get more friends to listen and we can do more.
