Angry Tias and Abuelas of the Rio Grande Valley

United States

The Angry Tias and Abuelas of the Rio Grande Valley are a collective group of women from South Texas who provide emergency assistance to asylum seekers at ports of entry and bus stations along the U.S.-Mexico border. The group aims to offer food, water, clothing, toiletries, logistical support, and cash funds when needed to those recently released from ICE custody. These advocates will use their platform to continue meeting the immediate health and safety needs of immigrants, informing asylum seekers of their rights, providing direct financial support to refugee shelters, as well as offering advice and accompaniment to immigrants.
