We are a group of volunteers raising donation money for the Southern Poverty Law Center. Our goal is to help with federal lawsuits against the practice of immigrant child separation. If this is an important issue for you, then we need your help!
We have joined a program that allows us to run concessions stands at the Superdome during Saints and college football games. It can yield a lot of money for donations toward our goal, and the more people who volunteer, the more money we make.
While you can opt to volunteer just a couple of times (we currently cannot accept volunteers who can only come to one event), we are looking for volunteers who can match our commitment by volunteering for each event left in the Saints season. Those dates are below.
Please assist us in helping poor, desperate children whose only crime was fleeing war, poverty, and violence. We want to wage a fight against these laws and policies, and you can help with that, while having A WHOLE LOT OF FUN AT THE SAINTS GAME WITH US, A GROUP OF AWESOME PEOPLE!!
Training(s) are required by the Superdome, depending on your position in the concessions stand. Please contact us for details.

Description
The Southern Poverty Law Center is based in Montgomery, AL with multiple satellite offices in many states. The goal of our group in New Orleans, LA is to gather as many volunteers as possible to participate in a fundraising program at the Superdome from now through January of 2020. Volunteers will help raise money to fight the U.S. Government regarding their "family separation" policy for immigrants, which has led to thousands of refugee children, some just babies, being kept in detention centers alone and representing themselves in immigration court.
Our volunteers will operate a turn-key concessions stand during football games, basketball games, concerts, and conferences. We are looking for volunteers who have the following qualities:
At least 16 years of age or older
Can commit to volunteering at least 2 days a month from now through January, mostly on a weekend
Is willing to attend 1-2 trainings at the Superdome
Has a positive personality and wants to help change the laws governing how we treat refugees
Lives in the immediate vicinity of New Orleans, LA.
All money raised from our efforts will go toward The Southern Poverty Law Center. Please contact our coordinator to find out more and get involved.
