Support Refugees through 30 Poems in November

Though I'm not poet, I have been volunteering with refugee and immigrant families for the past three years, and found it to be both essential and gratifying work. But in light of the funding cuts to refugee resettlement programs and the unprecedented assault against people's democratic rights, personal and financial help is needed more than ever. That's why I'm participating in the Center for New Americans' 30 Poems in November fundraising campaign. I'm one of many poets who will write 30 poems in 30 days, beginning November 1st, and I'm asking you to offer a pledge-per-poem or just a one-time donation to support the Center's critical work and literally life-saving programs for immigrant and refugee families in western Massachusetts.

Center for New Americans has been welcoming and serving immigrants in Western Massachusetts since 1992. We teach free classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), digital literacy, civics, U.S. culture. We offer support services including connections to community resources and assistance finding employment. We also offer some immigration legal services, including assistance applying and preparing for U.S. citizenship, assistance with employment authorization and family petitions, and some humanitarian assistance. We rely on a small, dedicated staff, an engaged board of directors, generous volunteers and supporters, and public and private funding. 30 Poems in November! is one of our most important fundraisers every year.
