In the last year, we have been very active in organizing educational forums on immigrant rights and ballot initiatives; promoting citizenship/voter registration drives; supporting the efforts of dining hall, Wal Mart, and warehouse workers; supporting and organizing deferred action policy forums and clinics; lobbying on a local, state, and federal level; supporting efforts to ensure city funding for the Pomona day labor center; gathering petitions in support of driver’s licenses and a pilot program to protect undocumented workers who pay state income taxes; and organizing the annual Cesar Chavez breakfast and Cesar Chavez Pilgrimage Walk. Since these efforts are led by volunteers, the LRT continues to sustain its efforts with your membership dues and one annual fundraiser. Please support our efforts by joining now.
