About Us:

The Civil Rights Committee of Los Abogados is at the forefront of advocating for the rights and justice of the Latino community in Arizona. Our commitment lies in identifying and addressing civil rights violations and conflicts, ensuring that justice and equity are accessible to all, especially the underrepresented in our communities. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to closing the access-to-justice gap for underserved communities, responding proactively to the legal needs of the Latino community across a range of critical areas.

Our Work:

• Legal Education: We organize Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars on vital topics such as asylum preparation, motions to set aside convictions, DACA, and other pivotal civil rights issues, equipping legal professionals with the knowledge to better serve our community.
• Citizenship Fairs: In our efforts to assist immigrants in navigating the path to U.S. citizenship, we have hosted citizenship fairs that provide essential guidance and support throughout the application process.
• Collaborations for Justice: Our committee has partnered with esteemed organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to offer clinics and support services. A notable project includes providing assistance to victims of unlawful raids by MCSO, helping them to obtain financial compensation for the injustices they have endured.

Achievements:

Through our persistent efforts and strategic partnerships, we have made significant strides in advancing civil rights and access to justice for the Latino community. Our initiatives have not only provided direct assistance to individuals in need but have also raised awareness and fostered a broader understanding of civil rights issues within the legal profession and the community at large.
