WHY I SHOULD BECOME A MEMBER

More than 78 years ago, a group of Latino leaders formed the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) to defend the rights and advance the well being of Hispanic Americans. Today LULAC is the largest and most active membership organization serving the Latino community.

LULAC members are the driving force behind significant advancements and improvements to the quality of life for Hispanics in Ventura County.

As a member of a Ventura County Chapter, you will be part of an organization whose members are making a difference in addressing the needs of the Latino community. You will also be part of a nationwide network of community activists who are protecting our civil rights in the areas of immigration, social services, education, and economic opportunity at the local, state, and national levels.

We need your help to continue our legacy of improving the quality of life for all Latinos.

LULAC is second to none as the leading advocate for issues affecting Latinos. We have fought numerous injustices over the years and will continue to do so with the help of people like you.
