BOARD OF DIRECTORS Richard M. Pearl, Esq., Chair Law Offices of Richard M Pearl "I first got involved with farm workers when I started working with CRLA INC, in the in 1975. In the early 1980s when legal aid was under attack on a national level, we knew lobbying in particular. would be under attack; that's when CRLAF was born. Today, thanks to a cadre of visionary supporters, CRLAF remains privately funded legal aid program, doing incredibly important work that federally funded legal aid organizations are prohibited from doing." Rosa Armendariz Diablo Valley College Joseph Jaramillo, Esq. Housing & Economic Rights Advocates "I think that it’s difficult to pass strong protective legislation given the power and influence of big agribusinesses.That is why it is so important to have an organization like CRLA Foundation advocating for needed changes." Manuel Magana Retired Farm Worker "I started working with César Chavez in the 1970s. By the 1980s legal aid was under fire and we had to find another way to continue the important work. I am proud to have been on the forefront of creating CRLA Foundation. We have worked really hard for the rights of the farm workers for many years and still there are many things that need to change. One of the achievements in this fight is that farm workers now have access to a bathroom wherever they are working." Rosario Vásquez Community Representative Virginia Villegas, Esq. Villegas Carrera LLP "Over the years, I've seen first-hand the legislative work they engage in and the positive effects it has for low-wage workers throughout the state. CRLAF not only provides legal representation, but advocates on behalf of marginalized communities. If it were not for CRLAF these communities would not be getting the critical services they need."

Abogamos por políticas de vivienda asequible más fuertes en todo California, con un enfoque en la defensa legislativa y regulatoria en nombre de los pobres de las zonas rurales. CRLAF’s Rural Housing Project works with partners to successfully expand funding in the state budget for farmworker housing, such as the Joe Serna Farmworker Housing Grant Program. Finally, the Project co-sponsors a biennial Housing Summit with Western Center on Law and Poverty (WCLP). This two-day event in the state Capitol brings together legal services advocates and community groups to discuss issues impacting our client communities and develop potential solutions, including shared priorities for each upcoming legislative session. CRLAF’s Recently Sponsored and P assed Housing Legislation 2022: AB 1654 (Rivas): CRLAF co-sponsored with California Coalition for Rural Housing, requires that whenever the state augments the main tax credit, at least 5% or $25M (whichever is less) is automatically set aside for farmworker housing. AB 2339 (Bloom): CRLAF co-sponsored with WCLP and the Public Interest Law Project, closes loopholes in existing Housing Element law requiring cities and counties adopt plans for how they will meet the housing needs of low-income households, including the unsheltered. AB 2597 (Bloom, Garcia): CRLAF co-sponsored with Western Center on Law and Poverty, CLP, Inner City Law Center, Leadership Council, and Regional Asthma Management and Prevention. AB 2597 proposed to update the state's habitability standards to ensure that all rental units have a means of maintaining a safe indoor air temperature regardless of the temperature outside. When the bill passed the Assembly Appropriations committee, it was stripped of key provisions, and the author decided not to move the bill further. CRLAF and the other sponsors worked to have a similar policy included in the budget climate package which provides $5M to the state Department of Housing and Community Development to develop recommendations to the legislature for establishing and implementing a maximum indoor air temperature in rental housing. 2021 SB 510 (Pan): gives local governments the discretion to consider the opinions of mobile homeowners in weighing a conversion, and to protect them from forced conversions. AB 838 (Friedman): CRLAF co-sponsored with Western Center on Law and Poverty, which prohibits local code enforcement programs from refusing to inspect substandard housing. AB 1304 (Santiago): strengthens requirements for cities and counties to analyze and proactively address fair housing issues in local housing plans as part of their obligation to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). AFFH means that government entities must take active steps to dismantle segregation, foster inclusive communities, create equal housing opportunities, address disinvestment in low-income neighborhoods, and protect residents from displacement. AB 1304 builds on prior legislation, AB 686 (Santiago) from 2018, which required public agencies, including state and local government entities, to affirmatively further fair housing in all housing and community development-related activities. AB 1398 (Bloom): helps to ensure timely adoption of locally adopted housing plans, known as the Housing Element, and increases the consequences for local governments who ignore the law and fail to adopt a state-approved Housing Element on time. Through many years of legislative advocacy, CRLAF helped create the detailed requirements in this area of the law, which provides tools at the local level to break down barriers to housing for low-income families, including farmworkers and other rural households. 2020 AB 3088 (Chiu): CRLAF had played a lead role in negotiating this bill, which first enacted limits for evicting tenants for nonpayment of rent related to COVID-19 related hardships in August, 2020. SB 91 (Chiu): extended AB 3088 protections from February 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022, and included provisions for how the state would expend several billion dollars in rental assistance from the federal government. CRLAF helped convene a coalition of tenant and consumer advocates and attorneys, which collaboration led to the creation of a platform of recommendations to provide protections from eviction and protect tenants from consumer debt. AB 832 (Chiu): CRLAF’s advocacy with legislative leaders and the administration resulted in the incorporation of several elements of our platform into this eviction protection extension including greater program accessibility. CRLAF was also a key supporter in advocating for changes and improvements to the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). AB 2782 (Stone): CRLAF co-sponsored with the Golden State Manufactured-Home Owners League (GSMOL), our second attempt to enact protections for homeowners living in manufactured housing communities that face closure. The bill gives local governments stronger authority to turn down a proposed closure, and ensures that homeowners who are displaced receive the fair market value of their home as compensation.

PROYECTO DE CIUDADANÍA E INMIGRACIÓN Caminos hacia la ciudadanía + unidad familiar CRLAF's Citizenship and Immigrant Integration Project provides informational services, high quality legal assistance, advocacy support, and community capacity building to provide immigrants the opportunity to be a part of the decision making process that affects their families and community.

Since 2012, CRLAF has conducted outreach on DACA. In collaboration with our partners, we have been able to provide informational services on DACA, VAWA, and U Visas to more than 5,000 immigrants and have assisted more than 350 childhood arrivals to apply for DACA. CRLAF began the Undocumented Unaccompanied Minors Project in 2013 where we assist with applications for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, Asylum, and other forms of immigration relief.

ACERCA DE CRLAF Nuestra misión Nuestra misión es lograr la justicia social y la equidad en asociación con los trabajadores agrícolas y todos los trabajadores de bajos salarios y sus familias en las comunidades rurales a través de la defensa comunitaria, legislativa y legal. Nuestra visión es que todos los trabajadores agrícolas y sus familias sean tratados con dignidad y respeto. Quienes somos CRLAF es una organización estatal de asistencia legal civil sin fines de lucro que brinda servicios legales gratuitos y abogacía de políticas para los pobres rurales de California. Nos centramos en algunas de las comunidades más marginadas: las no representadas, las no organizadas y las indocumentadas. Nos involucramos en educación y divulgación comunitaria, litigios de impacto, defensa legislativa y administrativa, y liderazgo en políticas públicas a nivel estatal y local. Buscamos lograr la justicia social para las comunidades rurales pobres trabajando para abordar las necesidades más apremiantes de nuestra comunidad: trabajo, vivienda, equidad educativa, acceso a la atención médica, seguridad laboral, ciudadanía, inmigración y justicia ambiental Del director ejecutivo En 1981, un grupo de visionarios de la justicia se unieron para formar la California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation. Esta organización pequeña y poderosa se creó en respuesta a las rígidas restricciones impuestas a los programas de servicios legales con fondos federales, restricciones que limitaban el acceso a la justicia para las familias trabajadoras. Gracias a SU apoyo, CRLAF está en primera línea y en el Capitolio Estatal luchando por la justicia y empleando los mecanismos más efectivos para lograr un cambio social para la población rural pobre. A medida que avanzamos, nuestro objetivo es llegar al mayor número posible de personas en todo el Valle Central y la California rural para garantizar que las familias de estatus mixto conozcan sus derechos y responsabilidades bajo la ley. Continuaremos a: participar en la promoción y reforma de políticas legislativas; informar a la comunidad, las escuelas y otras organizaciones comunitarias a través de presentaciones y kits de información "Conozca sus derechos"; proporcionar clínicas legales para evaluar el alivio de inmigración y ayudar con las solicitudes de naturalización; y representar a individuos y familias en asuntos de derechos civiles. Aunque puede ser difícil imaginar los obstáculos que enfrentaremos bajo la nueva administración, la realidad es que siempre hemos estado aquí para apoyar a nuestras comunidades, y con su asociación seguiremos siendo una fuente de información, esperanza y empoderamiento. . USTED puede ayudar: juntos podemos ayudar a los pobres de las zonas rurales de California a mejorar sus condiciones económicas, sociales y políticas y a participar más cívicamente en sus comunidades. Renueve su compromiso y done $ 50, $ 100, $ 250 o más a CRLAF hoy. Envíe un mensaje claro y rotundo de que defendemos los derechos humanos, los derechos de los inmigrantes y la dignidad para todos.

Nos honra ser su socio en la lucha por la dignidad y la justicia para todos. En solidaridad, Amagda Pérez

Your 2018 Impact Report: See the Impact of your donation. CRLAF 2022 Impact Report Dear Friends and Supporters, The past two years have been filled with unprecedented challenges raised by a global pandemic that has turned every aspect of our normal lives upside down and wildfires that continue to push low-wage workers into greater economic insecurity. At the same time, CRLAF has stepped up to do what is needed to protect the rights of rural Californians. Amagda Pérez, Executive Director CRLAF advocates have worked around the clock developing timely and culturally responsive information on COVID resources and fighting for worker and tenant protections, safe living conditions for H2-A workers, adequate lighting for night-time work, wildfire protections, heat illness prevention, health for all, and access to legal and other lifeline services for rural communities. We have provided legal assistance to aggrieved workers, families seeking education equity, and immigrants seeking to regularize their immigration status. We also secured release of individuals from ICE detention, defended migrants in removal proceedings, and assisted hundreds to apply for benefits that protect family unity. As we continue to respond to statewide emergencies and ensure that the most vulnerable in our communities have the protections and support that they need, we thank you for your support and shared commitment to ensuring that farm workers, other low-wage workers and their families have access to high-quality legal representation and access to equal justice. Our work has brought hope and improved the working and living conditions of countless rural families. Thank you for standing with us in our fight for justice, equity, dignity, and respect for our clients. We are proud to carry forward Justice Cruz Reynoso's legacy of service and ensure that every person has access to justice, regardless of their socioeconomic and immigration status. Respectfully, Amagda Pérez Executive Director 2022 IMPACT REPORT California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation LABOR + EMPLOYMENT PROJECT CRLAF engages in policy advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels. In 2022, we tracked more than 60 state and federal bills, and sponsored and supported legislation seeking to expand labor law protections for H-2A farm workers and other rural low-wage workers, and opposed bills which eroded or eliminated those protections. We provided written or oral communication to committees; signed on to support/ opposition letters; and held conversations with key political staff. We also monitored all new H-2A applications for large numbers of guest workers in key counties, and advocated for H-2A and US farm workers with the US Department of Labor (DOL) and California Employment Development Department (EDD). Specifically, CRLAF su pported SJR 11, AB 2183, AB 2300, SB 951, and] HR 1603. H-2A Monitoring and Advocacy: CRLAF sponsored AB 857, the "California Legal Rights Disclosure Act for H-2A Farm Workers,” that would mandate employers’ single required written notice with information on roughly two dozen California laws/regulatory protections be in Spanish. We are working with the Labor Commissioner on another draft of AB 857, to ensure farm workers are provided clear, concrete, and straightforward information on their rights prior to their start of employment. The original text would have also codified for the first time in California law H-2A workers’ right to be paid for time spent in employers' vehicles while traveling between employers' housing and field worksites. CRLAF and other advocates have pending actions to recover these stolen wages; the estimated unpaid travel time for the 25,000+ H-2A workforce in 2021 was between $50-60 million dollars. In 2022, CRLAF helped review and analyze more than 200 California H-2A job orders seeking approval for over 20,000 workers, and found that a very high percentage contain false or misleading information about housing, transportation pay, and other key H-2A job terms that violate California law. We regularly collaborate with DOL, EDD, California's Housing and Community Development agency, and other regulatory bodies to protect and prioritize the housing and labor rights of farm workers across the state. PAGA Defense: CRLAF and CRLA were the original sponsors of the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA), a unique statute providing a mechanism for enforcement of basic labor law protections. We continue to collaborate with the legislature, labor unions, and trial lawyers to defend PAGA. RURAL HOUSING PROJECT CRLAF educates rural, low-income tenants and home-owners on their rights, brings impact litigation cases, and engages in housing advocacy at the state and national levels to maintain access to affordable housing and keep our most vulnerable residents housed. In 2022, CRLAF and the California Coalition for Rural Housing successfully expanded state funding for farm worker housing through the Joe Serna Farm Worker Housing Grant Program. We also co-sponsored and supported AB 1654, Funding for Farm Worker Housing, which increases farm worker housing funds by automatically setting-aside a percentage whenever the state augments the main tax credit; and AB 2339 Emergency Shelters, which closes loopholes in cities and counties’ meeting low-income households’ housing needs, including the unsheltered, and the identification of real sites for shelters. In October 2022, CRLAF and Western Center on Law and Poverty held a biennial Housing Summit, connecting legal services advocates and local groups to discuss issues impacting our shared communities, develop solutions, and define priorities for the upcoming two-year legislative session. PESTICIDE + WORKER SAFETY CRLAF works with various partners to improve enforcement of existing pesticide and work health and safety protections and advocate for greater health protective policies to reduce exposure to pesticides and work hazards including heat, wildfire smoke, and other climate conditions threatening rural health. Legislative + Regulatory Updates: Over the past year, CRLAF supported AB 1787, which enhances lab test reporting requirements to better protect agricultural pesticide applicators; SB 1044, which prohibits retaliation against employees (with exceptions for certain job types) for refusing to work inside an evacuation zone and requires employees’ access to communication devices for emergency use; and AB 211, which increases fines for pesticide safety violations. CRLAF joined other labor advocates in successfully opposing Monarch Tractor's petition to revise Cal-OSHA regulations to allow autonomous tractor use, including on farm roads and in fields where workers are on the ground harvesting. The petition was denied because driverless vehicle technology does not yet have a proven record of reliability. Though Cal-OSHA’s COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard will expire at the end of 2022, CRLAF helped assure the proposal of a non-emergency, two-year regulation preserving key protections in indoor worksites and employer-provided housing to take its place. CRLAF also worked to help develop a Cal-OSHA date palm work platform safety standard, and will participate in an advisory committee over the coming year to help draft a workplace violence prevention standard and finalize an Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Standard. Preventing agricultural work inside wildfire evacuation zones also remains a CRLAF priority. In September, 2022, Sonoma County adopted an Agriculture Pass program allowing some entry into evacuation zones for animal care and irrigation, but not harvest work. Sacramento County is now developing their own program with our input. Protection from pesticide exposure: CRLAF is a plaintiff in an Earthjustice challenge regarding the use of the extremely toxic herbicide paraquat. We actively participate in the Californians for Pesticide Reform Coalition to compel the Department of Pesticide Regulation and County Agricultural Commissioners to improve pesticide regulation enforcement and language access. CRLAF has also advocated for years to tighten restrictions on use of the carcinogenic soil fumigant 1,3 dichloropropene. SUSTAINABLE RURAL COMMUNITIES PROJECT (SRCP) SRCP works with partners and communities to develop and implement policies addressing systemic issues of poverty, poor health faced by disadvantaged migrant farm worker and immigrants. Legislation: SRCP supported three dozen bills during the final legislative session of 2022, and sponsored SB 558, Farm Worker Climate Resilience and Adaptation Program, which would have established a farm worker task force and granting program to farm worker-serving organizations. CRLAF helped win $1.5 million to update 20-year old data through a Farm Worker Health Study. CRLAF collaborated with author UC Merced on the advisory steering committee to ensure the study’s completion in June, 2022. CRLAF prioritized the Health4All campaign, which successfully expanded Medi-Cal coverage to eligible undocumented immigrants ages 26-49. We continue to celebrate this historic win granting California’s immigrant community access to care and health coverage. This expansion will go into effect on January 1, 2024, and is in addition to the May 1, 2022 expansion for undocumented residents over 50 years of age. We look forward to continuing to provide eligibility-related education to increase immigrant enrollment. Health + Immigration Work: To prepare residents for advocacy engagements, CRLAF hosted quarterly trainings and policy briefings, as well as sent regular alert updates on shelter-in-place ordinances, housing protections, nutrition programs, DACA public charge, and state vs. federal, and other privately funded COVID-19 economic relief programs. When possible, we provided direct application assistance, since many forms must be completed online and in English. Environmental Work: Since 2015, SRCP has administered the Interim Emergency Bottled Water Project for Fresno County’s unincorporated communities of Cantua Creek and El Porvenir, providing safe drinking water to 166 rural households (over 700 residents). We work with the Water Resources Control Board to ensure uninterrupted water delivery until the County completes a permanent water system. SRCP Leadership Roles: CRLAF organizes trainings and townhalls to educate partners and stakeholders on all proposed and or realized changes in policies, the critical role of affordable and expanded healthcare access, and the health and economic injuries resulting from inequitable vaccine access and discriminatory COVID 19 relief initiatives. We participate in various education campaigns on these topics as well as provide interviews for local newspapers, and on Spanish radio and television. Over the past year, SRCP led a coalition of 12 local organizations to prioritize farm workers as essential workers, which resulted in the vaccination of thousands of individuals. CRLAF has recently served as fiscal agent for two statewide regranting programs addressing equitable access to COVID-19 care and workplace safety, and chronic drought issues faced by farm worker communities. We continue to convene the COVID-19 Farm Worker and Rural Immigrant Community Advocacy Coalition, composed of 12 farm worker and immigrant-serving organizations, and the Central Valley Legal Defense Fund (CVLDF), a group of attorneys, and local community and faith leaders dedicated to raising and providing funding for residents placed in immigration removal proceedings. CRLAF also leads and will once again draft the annual policy platform for the San Joaquin Valley Health Fund’s IHHEEL (Immigration, Health, Housing, Education, Environmental Justice and Land Use and Planning) Health and Immigration Policy Subcommittees, involving over 30 immigrant and refugee-serving Central Valley organizations. LABOR + CIVIL RIGHTS LITIGATION UNIT The Labor and Civil Rights Litigation Unit provides legal representation to farm workers and low-income workers in rural California ineligible for (Legal Services Corporation) LSC-program services, and who may be best represented in a class action. In 2022, the Unit handled a variety of issues and cases, including defeating a Sheriff’s motion to dismiss on a forceful eviction; filing appellate briefs with the Ninth Circuit on the issue of client employer; defending tenants in unlawful detainer cases; assisting tenants assert their rights to habitable housing; co authoring two amicus briefs and participating on a third amicus brief; litigating cases in federal and bankruptcy courts; and collaborating with partners to co-host housing clinics and address education issues affecting migrant farm worker families. Outreach Efforts: In our third round of the statewide COVID Worker Outreach Program (CWOP), CRLAF has conducted field observations, door-to-door outreach, and participated in community events to protect access to rural health and other supportive safety-net services. Advocates traveled thousands of miles to provide information on workplace protections under COVID-19, sick leave, access to testing and vaccines, housing and other related labor rights, and distributed personal protection equipment to prevent COVID-19 contagion, and wildfire smoke and pesticide related illness. We partnered with local agencies, health providers, and religious organizations to organize and host vaccination clinics. Through this project, CRLAF reached more than 20,000 Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley residents. We are currently providing financial assistance information to prevent foreclosures to low-income residents in the Sacramento Valley behind on their mortgage. In the past year, CRLAF attorneys offered training for families and local organizations on housing and employment, and co-hosted three housing and tenants’ rights clinics. Amicus Brief + Support: CRLAF co-authored an amicus brief with CRLA, Inc. on a PAGA case before the U.S. Supreme Court in Viking River Cruises v. Mariana, and partnered with CRLA, Inc. to write an amicus brief to the Agricultural Labor Relations Board in Cinagro Farms, Inc., involving a group of farm workers misclassified as independent contractors. CRLAF also participated in the drafting of an amicus brief with CRLA, Inc. on a PAGA case before the California Supreme Court in Adolph v. Uber Technologies. Current Cases: CRLAF has been grateful for the opportunity to expand our housing work by recently bringing on a Housing Law Attorney and Legal Fellow, and training new attorneys. We continue prioritizing class actions that QLSPs are unable to take, and serving workers and tenants who do not qualify for QLSP services. These cases involve farm workers experiencing labor violations such as unpaid overtime or full hours worked, failure to provide meals, rest periods, and legal documents including leases, paystubs, and letters of employment. Cases also include tenants experiencing inhumane housing conditions in apartments, migrant labor camps, or mobile home parks, unlawful detainers, and improper evictions. Most cases are overshadowed by threats to our clients’ immigration status as a way of forcing compliance. Last winter, CRLAF joined the Sacramento Environmental Justice Coalition. As the only legal aid in this coalition, we provide information on tenant rights and how to assert them, with particular focus on the eviction process and the right to remain in one's home. We are excited about additional opportunities this partnership will bring, including identifying impact housing and employment cases. CRLAF is currently investigating two housing cases involving housing provided to migrant farm worker families, and a landlord who failed to provide habitable housing and threatened their tenant with deportation, based on their perception of the tenant’s immigration status. Finally, CRLAF is investigating serious education inequities faced by migrant students and English learners, looking into possible redress with a few partners, and considering litigation. The Unit aims to file 2-3 class actions or impact litigation cases in 2023. CITIZENSHIP + IMMlGRATION PROJECT CRLAF’s team of DOJ accredited representatives, attorneys, paralegals, and advocates worked tirelessly over the past year to provide education and outreach, consultations, applications for affirmative immigration relief, and technical assistance for service providers. We continued to support community college students and educators by offering legal services, presentations, and trainings, and have recently taken a regional administrator role, working with community-based organizations to provide DACA and Naturalization application filing fee assistance to community members throughout the Central Valley. Removal Defense Project: The need for removal defense services has grown exponentially, due to pro se hearings being scheduled for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. In addition to full-scope representation, many of our services over the past year were focused on developing and providing pro se assistance, such as covering dockets through the Attorney of the Day program, staffing detained consultation sessions, and providing limited-scope assistance. The new Immigrant Health Equity Project manages CRLAF’s Public Charge hotline, providing individualized legal counsel on health access, as well as legal and education services on immigrant access to healthcare and public benefits, with a focus on pandemic relief programs, Public Charge policies, and Medi-Cal expansions. Sacramento Family, Unity, Education, + Legal (FUEL) Network for Immigrants: The City Council of Sacramento established the Sacramento Family Unity, Education, and Legal (FUEL) Network for Immigrants in 2017, for which CRLAF continues to serve as fiscal lead. The FUEL Network is a robust collaborative of over 80 Sacramento community-based organizations, legal services providers, volunteer attorney groups, labor unions, faith-based groups, and educational institutions providing critical informational and legal services to immigrant communities. COMMUNITY ADVOCACY + SPECIAL PROJECTS CRLAF reinforced its commitment to protecting the health and well-being of low-income, essential workers and their families, as one of the few organizations conducting outreach and field monitoring throughout the pandemic. Our regular community presence encouraged workers’ confidence to reveal various civil rights violations, which were brought to our Immigration and Litigation Units to assess eligibility for benefits and representation. Over the past year, CRLAF uncovered a number of education inequities exacerbated under pandemic conditions, which impact the education of immigrant and/or English Learners, especially the children of migrant farm workers. CRLAF has seen districts discontinue transportation for rural areas; while California law does not guarantee the right to school transportation, it has greatly affected farm worker parents who start work before sunrise, and are unable to take their children to school on time. This has resulted in students being transported to and from school in overcrowded and unsafe vehicles and/or missing school. Migrant farm worker families living in labor camps must also leave every winter due to mandatory camp closures. These migrant students face being dis-enrolled from their schools as they are unable to return before the start of the spring semester; final exam dates that are scheduled a day before their move out date from the camps; and not obtaining all of the appropriate credits when they leave the state. CRLAF has also recently encountered major habitability problems, including entire apartment complexes, mobile homes parks, and labor camps with infestations of cockroaches, mice, mold, broken windows, torn screens, unsafe plumbing, and dirt floors. Residents have expressed concern about racist landlords and housing managers. We continue to hold Know Your Rights presentations and distribute informational flyers to labor camps, work crews, housing projects, churches, and local events to educate and work with our communities toward greater legal justice. This past year brought both exciting opportunities and challenges for the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation. We launched several ambitious statewide projects, while pivoting to address emerging needs in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, wildfires, other natural disasters, and policies that do not prioritize, nor consider our rural, underserved communities. In 2023, we will build upon the accomplishments of our past 41 years to continue protecting California’s farm workers, rural low-wage workers, and migrant families’ rights and access to legal justice. Please join us in assisting rural Californians access equal justice. Support like yours expands civic participation and helps to create a more just future for all Californians, regardless of their immigration and socioeconomic status. THANK YOU DONORS + SUPPORTERS CRLAF is ever grateful to our grantors, as well as individual supporters, without whom our work would not be possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all of those who gave throughout 2022. All gifts are directly invested into the communities we serve, expanding rural, migrant and mixed-status families' access to services and justice through legal action, advocacy, and education.
