Immigrant Rights Groups Launch Rapid Response Network, Hotline in LA

Immigrant rights groups Friday launched a rapid response network and hotline to report and document U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in the Greater Los Angeles region.
Led by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights alongside law, labor, faith and other organizations, the initiative known as the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network aims to protect migrants.
LARRN organized a national immigrant assistance hotline, which can be reached at 888-624-4752, where people can report immigration enforcement operations and request referrals for local, regional or national legal immigration and othersupport services.
Following a report of ICE enforcement, members of LARRN will send out volunteers and staff to investigate and verify the report’s accuracy.
Each group, or cell, is made up of attorneys, legal observers, educators, organizers and documentarians trained to verify reports and mobilize support efforts for those impacted by ICE operations.
“ICE has not waited a single moment to begin separating hundreds of families and causing fear and concern in various communities throughout the U.S.,” Pedro Trujillo, organizing director for CHIRLA, said in a statement.
“In Greater Los Angeles, we are coming together through the LARRN to ensure Angelenos know there are resources available to them,” he said.
Laura Urias, program director at Immigrant Defenders Law Center, emphasized that Los Angeles would not be the city that it is without its immigrant community.
“We stand united with all Angelenos facing an anti-immigrant administration that is determined to punish the most vulnerable people in our city for political gain,” Urias said.
LARRN was established in 2006, formerly known as the Raids Rapid Response Network, as a response to mass raids in factories.
The network connects immigrants caught in enforcement operations with pro bono and low-cost attorneys, and works to shut down private, unaccountable immigration jails and bolster rights education throughout the county, according to CHIRLA’s website.

About the BAILA Network
The BAILA Network is a team of benefits enrollers, legal service providers, promotores comunitarias, and community outreach workers. We support Los Angeleno immigrant families and essential workers to access the public benefits they are eligible for to stay healthy and strong. Our services are free!
Together, the BAILA partners form a ‘no-wrong-door’ network where people can get help:
understanding what public benefits they may be eligible for
accessing legal services if they have questions or need legal assistance
enrolling in free/subsidized health insurance and CalFresh if they are eligible
and connecting to other resources, like WIC, cash assistance, tax credits, and others
The BAILA Network partners came together in 2019 to brainstorm solutions to the barriers that prevent eligible immigrants and essential workers from enrolling in benefits - like fear of the public charge rule and stigma about receiving benefits. The COVID-19 pandemic made this work more important than even. A study conducted by the Urban Institute found that roughly 30% of adults in California immigrant families with low incomes avoided public benefits in 2020.
In 2021 we were able to launch the BAILA network because of generous funding provided by the California Community Foundation, the California Endowment and the Weingart Foundation.

A new era at California Endowment as longtime leader Robert K. Ross retires

The fourth-floor office of California Endowment CEO Robert K. Ross offers an Instagram-worthy view of Union Station, Olvera Street, City Hall and Chinatown. But I found a far more interesting landscape Friday inside his corner suite.
Moving boxes. Paintings and photos bundled up in bubble wrap. Handwritten notes on file cabinets with instructions to staffers on what to keep and what to toss. Awards — dozens of them.
“In a week, man, this will all be gone, brother,” Ross said with a laugh as we sat at a small table, the one place not too cluttered with 24 years of memories. “The county and city proclamations and certificates of appreciation — I mean, I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but where am I going to put them? These things are huge. They take a lot of space, you know, and I don’t want a study that’s like a monument to s— I did, right?”
Ross, 69, a pediatrician by training, is retiring next week after nearly a quarter-century heading one of the most important philanthropic forces in California. Its financials are huge enough — it sits on $4.3 billion in assets and gave $381 million last year to more than 700 groups in the name of combating the state’s health inequities. But Ross’ legacy rests on how he helped to transform charitable giving during his tenure.
World & Nation
Robert Ross
June 8, 2006
Miguel Santana, head of another L.A.-based philanthropic giant, the California Community Foundation, called Ross a“revolutionary”figure who challenged his peers “to believe that the billions we steward belong to the people” and “trust in those most proximate to the issues and injustice.” Santana was referring to place-based funding — the idea that communities, not rich organizations or individuals, know best what they need and how to use grants and donations to attain their goals.
Ross and the endowment didn’t invent that movement. But their institutional weight made it de rigueur in Southern California philanthropy. Hundreds of community groups are witness to this vision.Meanwhile, the L.A. political landscape has been transformed by a new generation of elected officials trained in the nonprofit sector — including Mayor Karen Bass and incoming City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, both former heads of Community Coalition.
Ross cuts an imposing figure with his height, stocky build, thick mustache and perfectly Bicced head. Underneath is a gentle man with a soft voice sometimes drowned out by the symphonies and concertos of KUSC that played while we talked — “my chill music,” he said. Passionate gestures during our one-hour talk — hands clasped in gratitude or tapped on the table to make a point, eyes closed in contemplation, thoughtful silences — and a lifetime’s worth of anecdotes brought his crusading spirit to life.
“I love the work of being in this fight” of social justice, Ross said. “If you’re not fighting, it’s not social justice.”
