CALEB's "District Issues" video series focuses on Education challenges and community perspectives

6/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Our Education Task Force has created a series of videos and outreach materials around the upcoming School Board elections, based on three questions:
  • "What are your biggest concerns about education in this time of COVID-19?" here on Facebook and here on Youtube
  • "What issues will be most important for Hamilton County Schools in the coming four years?" here on Facebook and here on Youtube
  • "What do you want to see in the people elected to School Board in August?" here on Facebook and here on Youtube
Please pick your favorite (or all three) and share them widely with your organizations, personally if you use social media or have good email lists you are part of. These videos are part of our first real effort to build up engagements and issue-based campaigns to drive positive change in local elections.

Tennessee United launches El Pueblo Fund

6/25/2020

Since the beginning of the shutdown and pandemic response, and throughout the rebuilding after the Easter tornado, Tennessee United has been coordinating dozens of volunteers and public financial support for home repair, rental assistance and essential supplies. Yet in spite of good work being done, the Latinx community remains the hardest hit population for COVID-19. With an extreme rise in confirmed cases we are seeing a corresponding rise in death rates.

The El Pueblo Fund looks to provide a moderate level of direct support to COVID-affected families so they can have the freedom and security to shelter-in-place without fear of economic devastation. Fund donations may also be used to aid families burdened by unexpected funeral expenses.

Disbursement of funds is happening immediately. The fund will allow families to shelter in place at home or a hotel (depending how many people are covid19 positive per household).  Knowing their bills and basic needs will be covered, will allow them to  quarantine safely.  The fund will allow TNU to cover, in addition to rent and bills, basic needs such as diapers, formula, medicine and personal hygiene products.  Having that peace of mind during quarantine is also needed for their mental health. 

While providing these needs TNU also hopes to provide accurate written information in their language, to erase myths that are spreading about covid19, and to eliminate the fear  in our community.
