“The pandemic affected Barrios in a very intimate way. We were not going to suffer silently again, so we rolled up our sleeves and went to work,” said Lupe Salazar, Executive Director of Barrios Unidos. “We have remained connected and collaborations have allowed many other projects to come forth, ensuring support for all in need. We are stronger together!”
