Chavez: Our Greatest Gift is You

As we approach the end of the year, we want to express our gratitude for your unwavering support in the fight for social justice and the empowerment of our border communities. Your generosity and commitment to our cause have profoundly impacted our ability to serve those in need.

The holiday season is a time for reflection, celebration, and giving back. We are truly thankful for the opportunity to work alongside you to create positive change for families advocating for change in their communities.  

This year has presented many obstacles and challenges, but through the power of unity and respect, we have persevered together. As the holidays draw near, we encourage you to take some time to rest and connect with your community. There’s nothing more rejuvenating than spending time with loved ones, allowing you to recharge and return to this vital work with renewed strength.

We know the year ahead will be difficult, but knowing we have your support, we have the strength to overcome anything that comes our way. 

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and joyous holiday season!
