I have been a volunteer and ally of this organization for many years. With a very small budget they do some very big work. From vitally needed services for the Latino immigrant community (like ESL and citizenship classes, legal help, etc.) to organizing around immigrant and workers rights and advocating for better treatment of undocumented immigrants by Federal, state and local authorities, they really are an exceptional group with a long (35 years) track record of accomplishments and dedication.
