🏥❤️🩹 5K in 5 days: Online Emergency Healthcare Fundraiser Kickoff & Campaign Meeting
The Justice for Alma Bowman campaign is still going strong! Since getting out of detention, Alma has continued to face the trials of ICE persecution of migrants even on the outside. Surveillance, repeated check ins, and the prevention of her ability to work or drive have been constant sources of hardship for her. Still, Alma has continued to stand up for migrants like her while fighting for her own freedom!
On August 3, 2026, Alma went to the emergency room after experiencing severe eye pain. A doctor diagnosed her with glaucoma and told her that she needed immediate laser eye surgery, which combined with other medical expenses, will cost thousands of dollars. Given Alma’s lack of immigration status, she is ineligible for Medicare or Medicaid and is expected to pay medical costs out of pocket.
We invite you to join us on August 13th for an online emergency healthcare fundraiser kickoff & campaign meeting. Hear campaign updates and find out how you can support Alma’s fight for justice as her next check-in approaches on Aug 18th where J4AB campaign members intend to accompany Alma as she faces ICE once more.
Show your support and donate today to help us reach part of our goal by raising 5K in 5 days. Let’s help Alma in the same way she has helped so many people. We hope to see you there!
🗓️ When: Thursday, Aug. 13 @ 5pm PT/7pm CT/8pm ET
