社区的力量:今天建立正义
la RazaBG大游集团的年度报告
亲爱的社区:
自1969年以来, we have been fervently working to protect and advance the rights of low income immigrants and Black/Latino communities living in the Bay Area, 通过双语BG大游代理, 教育和宣传工作. 我们的律师事务所承接具有挑战性的案件, 热情地为客户而战, 并确保每个人都感到被倾听和被代表.
移民的权利
We believe access to basic legal information and representation is the foundation of a fair and equitable justice system. Our 移民的权利 (IR) practice ensures that our clients are supported, heard, and fought for. 在一个家庭分离的社会里, 人们仅仅因为出生在哪个国家就被判入狱, and inhumane immigration policies prevent people fleeing incredible danger from seeking safety within our country, our IR team works hard to advocate for systematic change to fix a broken immigration system.
工人的权利
经常, 我们所代表的工人们都经历过危险的工作环境, 歧视, 性骚扰, 雇主既没有支付最低工资,也没有支付任何工资. Centro Legal’s 工人的权利 (WR) team serves low-wage workers who are employed in industries with serious workplace violations. 除了提供必要的BG大游代理, WR provides workers and other community members with the tools to address workplace violations through legal education efforts fostered here at Centro.
青年BG大游学院
At Centro we believe that barriers blocking equal access to the legal system don’t just need to be addressed but also reformed. This starts by providing quality legal education and professional development opportunities to the youngest members of our community. Every year Centro staff welcomes a new cohort of 青年BG大游学院 (YLA) students to inspire and get excited about the law and even though the program only lasts 3 years, Centro员工和学生之间的关系持续了一生.
反歧视诉讼
Centro Legal’s attorneys and staff are deeply committed to raising up the voices of members of our community, 这样他们的声音才会被听到,他们的权利才会得到保护. 这意味着即使在不利的情况下也要接受具有挑战性的案件. We make sure that the most vulnerable members of our community have access to the legal system and movement-based lawyering, 首先要提供好的建议.
租户的权利
没有人应该在自己家里感到不安全. 不幸的是, many low-income East Bay residents are at risk of being evicted because of the unfair power dynamics set in place and upheld by landlords over their tenants. Centro Legal’s 租户的权利 (TR) practice works with local partners and city and county officials to fight for the rights of some of our most marginalized community members. Our TR team also arms clients with “Know Your Rights” knowledge to prepare them for situations in which they need to self-advocate.

程序
Over the last two years our 租户的权利 practice has taken on a leadership role in advocating for policies that push for systematic change. In response to this crisis our attorney’s drafted what is now known as the country’s most robust Eviction Moratorium, 帮助满足我们社区的需求. 然而,我们并没有止步于此. 成功之后不久, we began working with Alameda County to make sure that rental assistance was distributed equitably and effectively to those who needed it most. 通过这个项目,我们管理了超过81名患者,891,向阿拉米达县遭受COVID-19相关困难的居民提供065美元的援助.
