2021 Reinas Magas Auction by @undocuwomensfund

The Undocumented Women's Fund is thrilled to announce that we hosting yet another Tres Reinas Magas Auction!

The Undocumented Women’s Fund is a community care, skill-sharing, and resource mobilization project in NYC. We assess the needs of the community through a gender-aware lens and mobilize resources to meet those needs and collectively tackle barriers to access.

We aim to raise $5,000 to expand our feminist grassroots organizing. Our auction includes a variety of art forms, including paintings, drawings, pottery, show tickets, clothing and accessories, and more.

Art auctions not only help us raise funds but also showcase the amazing talent of supporters and artists. Thus, through this process, we are able to intentionally and meaningfully engage with our cause and our community.

In line with our mission, the artists showcased in this auction are all deeply committed to the fight for more structural equity for undocumented folks, the socialization of carework, labor rights, feminism, and the right of equal access to basic resources for all.

Why Reinas Magas?

This auction celebrates the Three Wise Men or Magi, a popular holiday in Latin America, but with a feminist twist. The Three Magi have been historically portrayed as representing different ages, cultures and regions. They are known for possessing a keen knowledge of the stars and for being the bearers of gifts and treasures.

The Undocumented Women’s Fund (“UWF”) arose in reaction to the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the undocumented community. Since then, we have been involved in making the Excluded Workers Fund accessible; providing dozens of grants to heads of household; connecting our grantees and their households to multiple services; organizing resource-sharing workshops; engaged in vaccine outreach; and are now launching a promotoras program.

For over a year now, we have been doing this vital work, and to continue it, we need your support. Thank you for standing in solidarity with undocumented women.
