On the anniversary of #PlylerVDoe, we honor the López family who stood up for their children’s right to learn.
Their courage created generational impact and protected access to public education for millions of students across the country.

#ChildrensDay should be spent with family. Today, immigrant families continue to face detention, separation, and fear while fighting for safety and stability in the U.S.
We're joining Mother Forward and the Blue Bunny Brigade to demand dignity, accountability, and freedom for immigrant families.
CHIRLA is bringing World Cup energy 🤩
We’re celebrating, defending our communities, and kicking fear away ✊🏽⚽

On June 16th, we celebrate International Domestic Workers Day. Behind every clean home is a woman with her own story. Maru and her compañeras from the San Fernando Valley share theirs. 🧡
This #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, we honor the women whose hands hold CA's homes. 🦋

Thank you to the Assembly and Senate for including $30 million for the #StoptheHateCA program in the 2026 CA Budget! 👏 We applaud you for continuing to support Californians in the face of hate.
Federal guidance states schools cannot deny enrollment or create barriers based on immigration status.
Schools are places of learning, not enforcement.

This week, CHIRLA's humanitarian and policy teams traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate for immigrant, refugee, and humanitarian protections.
We joined more than 300 refugees, immigrants, and advocates from 35 states.
Immigrants and refugees belong here and strengthen our nation.
