The Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice was recently awarded an $800,000 grant by the State of California: ETP to support Street Vendors and Immigrant Entrepreneurs in the Inland Empire.

The Economic Justice Organizer will co-lead IC4IJ’s Vendor Justice Campaign, which aims to organize hundreds of street and home food vendors in the Inland Empire to increase their economic security and defend their right to make a living.

In the midst of the international COVID-19 pandemic, Immigrants detained in ICE detention centers are at high risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from the disease. Even in normal circumstances, ICE has proven time and again that it is unable to protect the health and safety of detained people-- and now more than ever, their lives are at risk, especially those with a history of health problems.
