Mass UndocuFund: Why Mass JwJ

At Massachusetts Jobs with Justice, we are declaring August as our month of Movement-building and Movement-Giving. Even in the most uncertain times, you can be sure of Jobs with Justice, and that’s only because hundreds of activists like you have worked so hard over the last three decades to make our organization what it is today. As long as we have your solidarity, we will keep fighting-- and we believe that we will win. This month, we will be highlighting our campaigns, victories, and leaders that make Mass Jobs with Justice unstoppable and sustain and grow our movement.

Massachusetts Jobs with Justice founded MassUndocuFund in partnership with Matahari and One Fair Wage. MassUF was created to provide direct cash assistance to undocumented immigrants in the state of Massachusetts. Since its inception, at the beginning of the pandemic, MassUF has conducted interviews in 7 different languages:

• Spanish, Portuguese, Cape Verdean, Haitian Creole, English, French, K’iche Mayan

• 23 of our recipients stated that K’iche was their native language K'iche

• Mayan is one of the most common indigenous languages in Latin America, spoken by about 1 million Maya in the western Highlands of Guatemala, the heartland of Maya Culture.
