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.

    Please find ways to mediate this disagreement to avoid eviction. Day laborer centers offer a place for coordination, training and safety. Without such centers fair employment and opportunities for workers are lost.

    Helping people find work, and supporting their right to fair and safe conditions, are NOT crimes. Whoever’s characterizing CARECEN that way must have another agenda.

    Please reconsider your decision to evict CARECEN’S DAY LABOR CENTER. At a minimum, invite a meeting during which your concerns can be clearly laid out and expectations communicated. This approach would allow your concerns and requirements to be clearly communicated, so that a resolution, if possible, can be achieved. Day laborers provide a critical resource within the economy. Please do not proceed without the opportunity for dialogue between yourself and your tenant.
