WHY I SHOULD BECOME A MEMBER

 

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.

A POWERFUL ADVOCATE

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.

Advocacy-As your government liaison from Ventura County to Washington, we monitor legislation and public policy. We povide local policy makers with the Latino perspective on immigration, affirmative action, business, education, initiatives and other issues impacting our community.

Education-LULAC has increased educational opportunities for thousands of deserving young Hispanic students throughout the country. We operate one of the largest Hispanic scholarship programs in the nation and provide academic enrichment programs to elementary, middle, and high school students.

Political Participation-Our members sponsor voter registration drives and citizenship education programs. We have successfully implemented letter writing and lobbying efforts on behalf of key Hispanic issues to legislators at all levels of government.

Service-LULAC members are engaged in a variety of local community service projects that achieve progress through a positive approach. From housing issues to advocacy and from mentoring to business initiatives, LULAC members make a difference by taking charge and getting things done.
