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.

public policy. We povide local policy makers with the Latino

students throughout the country. We operate one of the
