    Organizing: CHIRLA organizes a membership base to harness the power of a collective voice. Over the years, CHIRLA has applied principles of community organizing leadership development, strategies and tactics. With a robust and organized membership, CHIRLA coordinates actions to win pro-immigrant policies that make a difference in the lives of members. CHIRLA organizes its membership base into the following committees: Household Worker Committee, Street Vendor Committee, as well as student committees for the California DREAM Network at 35 colleges and universities statewide, and Wise Up! at 10 Los Angeles and Pasadena area high schools. Additionally, CHIRLA organizes members into regional committees. These committees meet monthly to plan campaigns and participate in CHIRLA actions such as marches, forums, and town halls, as well as traveling to Sacramento and Washington, D.C. to participate in non-lobbying education of elected officials about the issues affecting low-wage immigrant workers, students, and their families.
