WHY ARE MEMBERS SO IMPORTANT TO US?

With your help, we can achieve a just society fully inclusive of immigrants.  Protect the rights of our community against relentless attacks, push for comprehensive immigration reform, and bring about systemic change and progress for a more just world.

MEMBERSHIP MEANS:

  • CHIRLA membership expresses power and shared beliefs.

  • Membership is a space where people can connect with others and find support.

  • Members help us create an environment where they feel empowered and part of the community as leaders of change.

  • Members pressure those in power for policies that benefit all of us.

  • Members give us a stronger voice and our dual membership unites us as one family.

  • Being a dual-member is to be an active participant of change and also an active supporter of our work.

  • Members volunteer their time and skills to the movement while supporting programs that serve our community.

  • Your membership supports CHIRLA and the CHIRLA Action Fund.

  • Your contribution of $25 helps both organizations work both on the streets and in the halls of power for real representation.
