The Martinez Brothers are doing a live stream fundraiser this coming Friday 17, April at 9:30pm CET time via YouTube and Facebook.

They have partnered with the Community Solidarity Fund for a virtual event. You can find all information on the GoFundMe page which is now active and accepting donations.

New York City is the Epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis in the US, with more than 2,000 people who died in this past week, alone, and over 6,000 COVID related deaths; leading the country in the number of fatalities. Black/ African Americans and Latinx, represent 75% of the deaths in NYC; and those bearing the brunt in this crisis are low wage workers, essential immigrant workers, home and health aid, and gig workers.

Bronx, New York, natives, and internationally renowned artists, The Martinez Brothers, are responding to the crisis by using their platform to raise awareness of efforts on the frontlines in this COVID-19 crisis. They have partnered with the Community Solidarity Fund to support people and frontline organizations who are confronting the crisis, which will benefit most impacted communities; especially, for those who will not benefit from the government’s emergency stimulus money or responses.

You can watch them over their channels and donate to help!
