CA LULAC was established in 1933. It serves to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of Latinos.

Cesar E. Chavez National Monument is not about one man, but the countless Americans of Latino and Filipino descent who fought for dignity, better working conditions and fair wages. That important history should not and cannot be erased. https://t.co/jReu9wJylV

Thank you team @SenatorMenjivar for attending our 7th annual CA LULAC and @PhRMA STEM event at Alliance MIT! Students had hands-on activities and learned about STEM careers from @CSLBehring, our own Deputy Director Alyssa, Columbia Memorial Space Center and @lamcofficial.

📢 48.9% of CSU students are Latina/o.
The California State University system is a vital pathway for our communities—yet Gov. Newsom’s 2025-26 budget proposes a $143.8M cut, slashing state funding by 3%.

This isn’t just a number—it’s a threat to educational equity and economic opportunity across California.

The CSU system is more than a university—it’s a cornerstone of our state’s future. @calstate @CAgovernor @CASpeakerRivas

✊🏽 We must protect it.

LULAC is extremely disappointed in Assemblymember Muratsuchi’s attack on our families who decide to send their kids to charter public schools. Many immigrant families do so in order to receive a quality education and deserve the same protections as students from the traditional sector. We call on the Assemblymember to immediately withdraw his proposed amendment and to start standing up for all Latina/o students, regardless of what type of school their parents decide is best for their children. @AsmMuratsuchi

César Chávez was an American hero who gave voice to farmworkers and laborers.

Today, on César Chávez Day, @RepRaulRuizMD and I introduced a bill to establish the César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park to pay proper homage to his tireless work for the dignity, respect, and equal treatment of workers.

"Almost 60% of the state’s quick-services are owned by people of color, and about half are owned by women. That’s why @laurbanleague, @LA_NAACP, and @CALULACofficial oppose the ordinance.” @LADailyNews @SoCalOpinion ❌ The Costly Restaurant Ordinance hurts minority-owned restaurants!🍽️

[CaliforniaLULAC @CALULACofficial]

Franchise owners are small business owners that take leap of faith with no safety net. A balanced approach needs to be taken consiering AB 1228 recently increased wages by 25% and started Fast Food Council help improve working conditions for the state's over half a million fast food workers.

🚨 LA’s Latino-owned restaurants are hanging on by a thread. 🚨 Now @LACityCouncil is considering a #CostlyRestaurantOrdinance that would further crush these legacy small businesses that serve our communities. Latino restaurant owners are saying ENOUGH: https://t.co/NB0ADF7zDT @LaOpinionLA @latinoresassoc @CaliforniaLULAC

We extend our deepest condolences to the Carter family throughout this difficult time. Former President Jimmy Carter guided our nation through challenging periods with strength and wisdom. Throughout his life he demonstrated compassion and humility qualities that inspired many. Even after his presidency he remained devoted to helping those in need showing a true commitment to humanity. Today we honor his legacy and the positive impact he made on countless lives.
