In 2022 CHRCL achieved critical victories impacting the most vulnerable immigrants communities in the US and prepared numerous practice advisories for immigrant advocates.
We are the only independent org permitted to inspect immigration detention sites to interview & assess the treatment of detained children. We work to ensure safe detention conditions and promptly reunite them with their relatives.
Local Los Angeles at-risk and immigrant youth may sign up for our free social mobility, legal, and arts workshops that will take place at our youth center. We hope to provide the necessary tools for survival to newcomers within the U.S.
We provide free weather resistant tents & sleeping bags to homeless men, women, and children struggling to find shelters. The goal is to offer a temporary night-time place of refuge during inclement weather.
Our legal and advocacy campaign to improve the USCIS application process and ensure the prompt issuance of work permits to Special Immigrant Juveniles. This would eliminate the need for these children to work in exploitative jobs to survive.
We prepare analysis and practice advisories on cutting edge issues impacting immigrants, refugees, children, and other vulnerable communities. Our latest Analysis and Practice Advisories can be found here.
We offer multiple opportunities to volunteer with our different campaigns, from pro-bono attorney work, to passing out tents to homeless, teaching at one of our workshops, or assisting with upkeep of our youth center.
