Title: Our Brothers and Sisters in Texas Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Feb 21, 2021 12:10 am For those of us who cannot come there directly and help... we are still praying and thinking of our dear ones there. https://newyorknewstimes.com/u-s-congressman-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-visits-houston-after-raising-millions-of-dollars-to-rescue-texas/119349/ Houston, Texas-US Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Raised millions of dollars in relief money For a Texas relief organization working to help those who are still in need after suffering from a historic winter storm. “When disaster strikes, this is not just a issue for Texans, this is an issue for our entire country,” said the Democrat, about 1,600 miles from her home district in the Bronx and Queens, New York. “Our whole country needs to come and rally together behind the needs of Texans all across the states.” Ocasio-Cortez spent time packing boxes of supplies at the food bank and was expected to visit other area food distribution centers. President Joe Biden on Saturday approved a major disaster declaration for Texas, which will expedite federal funding for a state wracked with widespread power outages following a rare arctic blast this week. |
