Together with YOU we can make our vision of welcoming immigrants with dignity, opportunity and love a reality.  Together we can expand our capacity to provide the programs and services our community has long trusted and depended on.  To that end, we are launching the I Welcome Immigrants Campaign, which seeks to raise $35 million to create a state-of-the-art center, expand our programs, and institutionalize California welcomes programs for immigrants. We have already secured $20,130,100 and need you to help us get to our goal.  

"Are you ready to dream with our CHIRLA members, staff and board of directors?  Join us in making the Immigrant Welcome and Empowerment Center a reality.  Together we can make the chant you have heard in the streets “Immigrants and Refugees are Welcome Here!” a reality in California for generations to come." - Angelica Salas, CHIRLA Executive Director
