“Que Podemos Hacer?”: KYCC's Enhanced Care Management

The Koreatown Storytelling Program presents a short series of community-member interviews discussing and responding to recent immigration raids. The title “Que Podemos Hacer?” translates to “What can we do?”, which was one of the responses we received from a vendor in our community. A response the vendor told us as he continued to work with fear.

One the first of July, federal immigration agents detained 2 street vendors in Koreatown. On the corner of Venice and Vermont, food vendors Angelina Solis and Reyna were detained as they prepared for their day of sales. 

Please support our vendors, below are GoFundMe profiles created by their loved ones.

In recent data from the Deportation Data Project, most of the people detained in recent raids in Los Angeles had no criminal history. 

The month also began with a Community Strike Against Ice, organized by the Los Angeles Tenants Union. On Tuesday July 1st, the Tenants union had a protest beginning on Wilshire and Union where they continue the push for demands. Union Del Barrio along with many organizations and unions called for a boycott to Home Depot.

This week we spoke with a community member within our organization KYCC, Jeffrey Mashburn. Jeffrey is a manager in our Enhanced Care Management OR ECM unit. ECM focuses on providing support and resources to our most high-risk community members with Medi-Cal. In our conversation with Jeffrey, we learn about the impact raids have be having in the ECM unit.
