Fundraiser; link in bio! This is Valeria Gonzalez from Texas, USA: I work with a non-profit organization called Youth Rise Texas that works with teens whose parents, caregivers, or loved ones have been impacted by the incarceration or deportation system. We provide educational services in schools and during the summer to teach teens about the structure and impact of criminalization systems, as well as teach them healthy coping mechanisms so that they can heal from the trauma caused by the systems and become leaders in their communities. We are currently fundraising to start a voter registration campaign to help youth register to vote for the 2020 elections. My personal goal in supporting Youth Rise's fundraiser is to raise a total of $500! Will you join in helping me reach that goal? A gift of any size ($5 even!) helps us make these plans a reality
