¡Ey, amigxs! Ready for an adventure with purpose? The Latinos in Heritage Conservation team is hitting the road, and we need tu ayuda to make this road trip legendary. Think of it as a cross-country quest to protect our cultura, one city, one story, one memory at a time. 🚐✨

🛣️ ¿Cómo puedes apoyar? How can you support us?

We’ve got fun, easy, and super meaningful ways for you to jump in:

💸🎮 Pick Your Fighter & Power Their Quest (Now with 2x the Impact!)

Every dollar you give is doubled thanks to a generous 1:1 matching donor — up to $7,500! That means your $25 becomes $50, your $100 becomes $200 — and your impact? Off the charts. 📈🔥 Choose your donation level and join the fight to protect our cultura — one city at a time:

☕ $5 = Coffee for those early morning site visits
🍿 $25 = Road snacks (because heritage work runs on Takis and trail mix)
⛽ $50 = A tank of gas to get us to the next stop
🛤️ $100 = 100 miles of cultura-preserving power

Then, pick your team member and help them conquer the challenges we're facing:

🧱 Asami is at the Blackwell School, where former students of this once-segregated Mexican American school are sharing their stories of resilience. Through photography and oral histories, she’s helping their voices echo across generations. Power her mission to preserve this legacy.
🕰️ Jen is in El Paso, capturing the fight for place — from the Lincoln School to Duranguito. With her camera and mic, she’s preserving the voices of fearless Latina leaders and community advocates. Help her shine a light on these powerful stories.
🏫 Hillary is in Nogales, where Latinx legacy businesses like La Cinderella have stood strong against gentrification and the border wall. She’s documenting their stories and surveying the neighborhood to capture the soul of Latinx Main Street. Help her fight back with your donation!
🌎 Karina is in Albuquerque, diving deep into the land’s memory — from acequias to ancestral ties. Through oral histories and documentation, she’s uplifting Indigenous and Latinx connections to tierra as healing, history, and home. Fuel her journey to honor the land.
