Hello friends.

We respectfully request your participation in an urgent meeting to bring together Philadelphia's nonprofit family to strategize on how to best serve the Puerto Rican community both on the island and on the mainland.  As many Puerto Ricans decide to evacuate the island and come to Pennsylvania in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, they will need our help.

<strong>Please join us for a breakfast meeting on Friday, November 3, 2017, at 8 AM, at Taller Puertorriqueño, 2600 N 5th St, Philadelphia, PA 19133.</strong>

Your support at this meeting is critical. Before Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Pennsylvania was the most popular destination for Puerto Ricans leaving the island, according to a 2015 report from the Pew Research Center. Preceding that report, the 2010 Census listed Philadelphia as the city with the second largest number of Puerto Ricans in the mainland US (121,643). We expect that number to increase markedly in the coming months as the prolonged recovery of Puerto Rico continues to demand our utmost attention and support.

Please join this call to action, unity, and collaboration.

Please RSVP your participation by .....

We look forward to you seeing you and/or a representative of your agency at this critical meeting.

Respectfully,

&nbsp;
