Supportingthe Rights of Immigrants

Whether you're a first-time or renewing member, joining CHIRLA is an expression of your support for the rights of immigrants.

Membership dues support CHIRLA and CHIRLA Action Fund’s advocacy and political empowerment campaigns. Members also get involved in all CHIRLA activities, whether visits with legislators, protest marches or cultural celebrations, to influence the political process in favor of policies and laws that benefit immigrants. Members are the voice of CHIRLA. They are the core actors in the fight for immigrant rights.

Members take part in leadership development, organizing or media training sessions that better prepare them to advocate for immigrants in the halls of power. Membership creates a space for people to feel empowered and become community leaders. 

All memberships, whether individual, family or ally, support the work of both CHIRLA and the CHIRLA Action Fund.
