What La Raza Cento Legal Does
La Raza Centro Legal is a community-based legal organization dedicated to empowering Latino, immigrant and low-income communities of San Francisco and advocating for their civil and human rights. Through its grassroots efforts over the last 45 years, La Raza has provided critical life-changing legal services - at low or no cost - through its four core programs:

  • Housing Law Program: Defending low-income tenants against eviction and potential homelessness. In 2017, La Raza has helped over 60 families stay in their homes, obtain relocation benefits, or negotiate new leases.
  • Immigration Program: Providing direct legal representation to low-income immigrants for citizenship, immigration status adjustments, or trafficking / discrimination cases. La Raza also represents non-detained immigrants in deportation proceedings and provide counsel for unaccompanied minors. Between January 2017 and September 2017, La Raza has completed ~100 adjudicated applications, 350 individual consultations, and served 500 individuals and their families via their bi-monthly clinics.
  • Senior Law Program: Protecting low-income, senior community members against consumer fraud, elder abuse, along with offering services for simple wills and other matters. Since January 2017, we have completed over 120 consultations and represented over 60 individuals.
  • Workers' Rights Program: Providing representation for low-wage workers who've experienced discrimination, exploitation, wage and hour violations, or other workplace issues. Since January 2017, La Raza has recovered $164K in back-wages and settlements for families.

Why I Support La Raza
I joined La Raza to both support the community where I live (SF Mission's District) and a organization dedicated to advocating for fundamental rights.
