"I'm very excited to be coming back to the organization that basically launched my justice-fighting career. La Raza Centro Legal has been on the frontlines of immigrant legal defense in the Trump era, providing essential services to those in need."
"La Raza Centro Legal attorneys were some of the first in San Francisco to file habeas corpus petitions, which have become the go-to means of quickly releasing immigrants after they are arrested in court."
"Founded in 1973 by Chicano law students, La Raza Centro Legal aimed to provide legal services in Spanish to Latinos in San Francisco, focusing on immigration law while expanding to include worker rights and senior law units."
Hillary Ronen is returning to La Raza Centro Legal as executive director after 16 months away from public office. She previously worked there as an attorney and has spent 15 years in San Francisco City Hall. Ronen will lead the $2.5 million organization, which focuses on immigrant legal defense. La Raza Centro Legal has grown significantly, nearly doubling its revenue since 2019, and continues to provide essential legal services to the Latino community, including immigration law and worker rights.
