About this campaign
Friday April 7th, 2017 is the One Year Anniversary of the death of Luis Góngora Pat at the hands of the SFPD. The Justice & Honor for Luis Góngora Pat Coalition is launching this t-shirt campaign in advance of his anniversary because supporters say they want to wear their heart -and Luís- on their sleeve!
In Spanish, we say "me pongo la camiseta" or "I wear the team jersey" to mean that we are one with a cause. Luis loved team sports and we are a team rallying around a cause, so we invite you to join team Justice & Honor for Luís Góngora Pat by purchasing a t-shirt.
This campaign will raise a tiny amount ($100 says the booster calculator) because we are choosing to price at minimum amount. With this campaign we just want our team players to wear the team shirt (and get the exact size they want)! ¡Ponganse la camiseta! If you don't want a t-shirt but do want to donate, please go to our Luis Góngora Pat Anniversary Memorial Fundraiser here.
But what about funds raised?
Any funds raised will be used to support Luis' family in this time of mourning and grief. Luis’ family depended on him financially. Now his brother Jose must support their parents, Luis' family, and his own family. All funds raised go a long way towards easing the financial strain on a struggling family. Funds will also be used to build a final resting place for Luis' body in their hometown cemetery in Teabo (Yucatan, Mexico.)
Who was Luis Góngora Pat?
Luis was a 45 year old indigenous Mayan Mexican, an immigrant worker and a family man who for a decade and a half supported his wife and three children in the small town of Teabo by sending remittances from his dishwasher and line cook earnings. In 2014, he and his brother Jose were illegally evicted from their home in the Mission District during the peak housing crisis of San Francisco, after which they became homeless. Extended family helped his brother get back on his feet, and the plan was to help Luis next. But his life was brutally cut short; he became a victim of police terror in the Sanctuary City of San Francisco.
