SAVE CARECEN'S DAY LABOR CENTER

Since 2004, our CARECEN Day Labor Center has assisted thousands of hardworking men & women find employment opportunities and make positive contributions to the Los Angeles community. Many day laborers come to our center seeking employment, a safe haven, access to services such as workforce development, healthcare, English classes, know your rights workshops, legal services and defense against wage theft.

Just days before the 2019 Holidays when day laborers and their families were coming together to celebrate, our center received an eviction notice. The property owner's notice characterized individuals “who appear to be applicants” of the Center as threats and criminals. This letter profiles immigrant workers as criminals & threatens CARECEN-LA with litigation if we do not vacate the premise by January 17.

Sign and share this petition to urge the property owners to preserve the center. The Petition will also be shared with the city of Los Angeles and the office of council member Cedillo to ensure their continued support.

    I urge the property owner and Gil Cedillo to please continue working with CARECEN to keep the center open. I use to work at the Center for 5 years and I’ve seen the collaboration and the beautiful work this small center has done for the community. A center where community has gone to look for work in a safe space and get a fair wage. From having ESL classes, to teaching about renters rights and rights at work. Members from the CARECEN’s Day Labor Center with collaboration with LACBC were involved in getting the bicycle path along 7th Street and Bicycle racks to make it safer for the community, they have done various community cleanups and a lot other great work. So I urge the property owner and Gil Cedillo to please continue working with CARECEN to keep the center open its a piece of the community that can’t be lost.

    The CARECEN Day Labor Center is a vital part of the Westlake community and a dignified place where day laborers look for work and receive services. Que vivan los trabajadores y trabajadoras!!!

    This type of behavior is unfortunate considering how long the center has been there for the community. I urge you to reconsider your action to keep the CARCEN-LA Worker center in its place.
