SOMOS EA ERG Taking a Stand With RAICES

SOMOS EA ("We are EA"), the Hispanic / Latinx Employee Resource Group at Electronic Arts (EA), recently partnered with Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Service (RAICES) to support the U.S. immigrant & refugee community – reflecting EA’s commitment to build a more diverse and inclusive environment in the video gaming industry.

We at Electronic Arts believe that equal treatment and protection as it relates to fundamental human rights apply to every person, regardless of race or ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, economic background or immigration status.

Yet, we know every day, human rights — including the basic right to live in safety and be treated equitably, are continually challenged around the globe. As such, SOMOS EA has partnered with RAICES, a not-for-profit organization in North America on the national frontlines of the fight for migrant human rights. 

This year in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, here are some ways you can support those in the Latinx/Hispanic community:

  • Donate to RAICES - RAICES provides social services, legal representation, and advocacy for immigrants and refugees. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for RAICES over the next four weeks, and SOMOS EA is making an initial contribution of $15,000. If you want to help us reach our goal to support  Latinx immigrants and refugees, log your donation here.
  • Celebrate The Rich Diversity in the Latinx/Hispanic Culture - We believe in the power of positive play and creating an inclusive community. We are celebrating the diverse Hispanic and Latinx communities in the US and beyond during Hispanic Heritage Month by providing the millions of passionate players with authentic, original in-game content across our three premiere franchises— The Sims 4, Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21. Players will see new content over the coming weeks and months, starting with the first drop in The Sims 4 which will include new Create-A-Sim items, including a top designed by Mister Cartoon, recipes, decor and build/buy items inspired by Hispanic and Latinx culture. 

We invite you to stand in solidarity with us this #HHM and beyond, celebrating within your own communities the diverse cultures, backgrounds, and contributions that blend together, to create one powerful and united community worldwide.

Following the landmark United States Supreme Court decision in favor of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, RAICES launched the RAICES DACA Fund to ensure that every person currently eligible for DACA has access to protection from deportation, in addition to the continued legal representation, social services, and advocacy necessary to thrive. 

In a time when our community and the world is overcome with so many feelings and emotion as we continue to witness unprecedented times. SOMOS EA stands in allyship with all of our players and pledge that we will continue to support the human rights of all communities, despite their backgrounds.
