Join us in giving back through our Pet Supplies Drive benefiting the Prince George’s County Pet Unity Project and fur babies in the ACRT network! 🐾❤️💛💙🐾
Unfortunately, due to the deportation of some of our community members, beloved pets have been left behind and need immediate care. We are asking for your collaboration with supplies so we can support them now and prepare them for their forever homes. We have included some of the fur babies under these circumstances in the pictures to follow.
From April 30th - May 30th you can donate pet food, toys, blankets, cleaning supplies, treats, leashes, and more by purchasing directly through our Amazon wish list link in bio or QR code on the flyer. 🐶🐱
Every contribution, big or small, helps provide comfort, care, and love to animals in need. 🦄
DMs open for any questions!

In honor of crossover in Annapolis on Monday, we highlight the advocacy work our Hermanas have done this legislative session in the artistic word salad demonstrated above.
The Solidaridad Action Committee hosted our 2nd annual lobby night this year in collaboration with Progressive Maryland. Due to the inclement weather, the lobby night was transformed into a virtual experience where Maryland Hermanas were able to meet with legislators from their districts about immigration, education, healthcare, housing and environmental justice issues.
Some special highlights from Lobby night include Tamara Zuniga, H. Temazcal emceeing the rally, and Yakie Palma, H. Acatl delivering a speech during the rally.
In addition to Lobby Night, Hermanas have been actively engaging in advocacy efforts in Annapolis and at the local council level over the past few months, supporting our communities on several fronts. In the videos, Tamara Zuniga provides testimony in support of immigrant justice, Allison Yunda, H. Securus, advocates for raising the minimum wage for domestic care workers, and Erica Puentes, H. Qikyusisa testifies in support of healthcare justice.
Stephanie Lemus-Ortiz, H. Paradigma, participated in School Counselor Legislative Day held at the General Assembly in Richmond, VA on February 4th. She met with her delegate to lobby for support of bills that would help strengthen the profession.
These are just a few examples of the advocacy our sisters engage in!
