A Call to Justice by the Santa Clara County La Raza Lawyers Association

LRLA joins in SIREN Immigrant Rights' petition calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to delay its ruling on the Trump administration's decision to phase out the DACA program during this COVID-19 crisis.

Members,

The LRLA Board of Directors has decided to cancel all March meetings and events due to COVID-19 concerns. We're hopeful that we can safely gather for our April 15th meeting at McManis Faulkner from 5:30-7:00.

Thank you,
