#workersrightswednesday Update: Victory in Pomona: A Win for Workers’ Rights!
On 5/19/25, the Pomona City Council and Mayor unanimously approved a motion to strengthen labor enforcement in our city. Instead of deputizing the City Attorney’s office, the city will now partner with the LA County District Attorney’s Office to apply for joint funding that will bring dedicated enforcement staff focused on labor violations right here in Pomona.
This is a win for workers across industries from #householdworkers to #daylaborers who are too often left without recourse when they experience wage theft.
PEOC will be directly involved in shaping this new enforcement model to ensure it stays:

PROTECT ETHNIC STUDIES‼️
URGENT & TIME SENSITIVE – TAKE 1 MINUTE TO PROTECT ETHNIC STUDIESWe are winning—but the fight isn’t over.
Thanks to powerful, intersectional organizing from students, educators, and community members like you, AB 1468 is tentatively being pulled from its hearing. This is a major victory. The bill sought to gut Ethnic Studies and censor conversations about Palestine, colonization, anti-Arab racism, and Islamophobia. Together, we forced its now anticipated withdrawal.
