La Raza Centro Legal is a community legal aid organization in San Francisco dedicated to empowering immigrants, workers, tenants, families, and seniors, and upholding civil and human rights for all. Against the current storm of anti-immigrant hysteria, La Raza Centro Legal is resisting oppression, advancing justice, and bringing life-changing legal services to people through four core programs:

  • Immigration Law Program: Representing low-income immigrants for citizenship and immigration status adjustments, against deportations, and in anti-discrimination actions. In 2017, we have completed over 100 adjudicated applications, and served 500 individuals, including unaccompanied minors.
  • Workers' Rights Program: Representing low-wage workers who have experienced discrimination, exploitation, and wage and hour violations. Since January 2017, we have recovered $164,000 in backpay and settlements for families.
  • Housing Law Program: Defending low-income tenants against eviction and potential homelessness. In 2017, we have helped over 60 families keep their homes, obtain relocation benefits, and/or negotiate new leases.
  • Senior Law Program: Protecting low-income, senior community members against consumer fraud and elder abuse, and providing services for simple wills and other matters. Since January 2017, we have completed over 120 consultations and represented over 60 seniors.

Even a small donation to La Raza Centro Legal can make a huge impact for the individuals and families we serve. That is why I ask for your help.

Contributions are 100% tax-deductible.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support of La Raza Centro Legal!
