NEW YORK – Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández donated $ 100,000 in proceeds from his US music tour to a campaign that fights against the separation of immigrant families in the United States.
The so-called “Foal” presented a check for that amount to Families Belong Together during a concert in Los Angeles on Saturday, the campaign reported Tuesday.
“We are honored to be beneficiaries and collaborate with Alejandro Fernández,” said Paola Luisi, director of Families Belong Together, in a statement. “Thanks to your support, we can continue to strengthen our fight for dignity, justice and compassion for migrant and immigrant families and defend our community from cruel immigration policies,” he added.
Families Belong Together is a campaign of the National Domestic Workers Alliance group created in response to policies of separation of migrant families on the US southern border during the government of former President Donald Trump. Almost 250 different organizations that promote immigration policies favorable to immigrants participate in the campaign.
Fernández announced his US tour and collaboration with the campaign in April. The tour is titled “Made in Mexico”, just like his last album, and ended the weekend after passing through cities such as Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Miami and New York.
