Justice for Migrant Women and Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) created the Farmworkers' Pandemic Relief Fund to meet some of the basic needs of the more than 2.5 million agricultural workers who are extremely vulnerable to Covid-19. These funds will be disbursed to 25 farmworker organizations across the United States and Puerto Rico to help provide baby food, formula and diapers, emergency financial assistance for medical needs, and support during this crisis.
The network will provide additional coverage of the festival tomorrow in “Un Nuevo Día”, “En Casa con Telemundo”, “Suelta La Sopa”, “Al Rojo Vivo”, as well as the newscasts “Noticias Mediodía” and “Noticias Telemundo”, with the purpose of continuing efforts for the public to donate to the "Farmworker's COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Fund".
Highest LIVE! is a coalition of internationally renowned music artists, celebrities, media companies and farmworker organizations coming together through the Most High Live! Music and Pop Culture Festival. Inspired by Live Aid, the benefit of this broadcast aims to raise $ 3 million for the Farmworkers' Pandemic Relief Fund with a full day dedicated to home concerts, stars, celebrity activations, skits, and more.
