After receiving over 600 nominations, the Black Voices for Black Justice Fund today announced its second round of awardees, focusing on Black leaders in Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina and Washington, DC. Each will receive $20,000 to use however they believe will do the most good in building an anti-racist America.
Although Olvera has never endorsed U.S. political candidates, he and his band, Maná, have been longstanding advocates of voters rights, immigrant rights and human rights.
Also joining the “We Are Home” campaign is Alejandro Fernández, who has lent his music to the Biden campaign and sang from Mexico at one of the inauguration events. “There are more than 11 million stories like these,” says Fernandez in his video, which shows multiple immigrant faced (the 11 million alludes to the estimated number of undocumented immigrants living in the United States). “Because of you, your fight, I join this campaign. We demand citizenship, dignity and a halt to deportations.”
