Displaced Farmworker Aid
Dear Farmworker CARE Coalition and Allies;
The National Latino Research Center is collecting items for Evacuees and Displaced Farmworker and immigrant families in the Pala/Pauma Valley, Rice Canyon, Rincon and Fallbrook communities. As members and allies of the Farmworker CARE Coalition we ask that you join our efforts to ensure that nobody impacted by this disaster falls through rescue relief safety nets. We plan on immediately coordinating collection of clothes, food, and bedding for affected families, as well as aid in efforts to secure housing for families who have had their homes destroyed. Farmworker Families affected most likely won't receive aid that other insured San Diego residents do, so it is up to us to provide support as they begin recover from this horrific tragedy.

We just heard word from the Pala Mission that a trailer park near Harrah's casino has burned down, leaving over 30 trailers displaced. Each trailer housed multiple families. Two Lideres Comunitarios from Poder Popular were impacted. In Rice Canyon, three Poder Popular lideres comunitarios have lost their trailers and we have not heard from them since Monday. Families on the reservations began to be evacuated this morning. Lideres Comunitarios from the Fallbrook area were evacuated through Camp Pendleton and relocated to Oceanside and Carlsbad.
We will be in touch when we have more information about exact needs and how this effort will be coordinated. In the meantime, please begin to activate your networks. As the university is closed this week I will be communicating and coordinating from home, please call me (Konane) on my cell phone if you have any questions. 868-603-3632
In Solidarity,
