Our theme for 2017 is HERE’S TO THE DREAMERS. This refers to CPLC’s renewed focus on advocacy, particularly for immigrants, who strengthen our nation. But while DACA caught the headlines in 2017, all of our clients are “dreamers” of another kind: they each envision a better life as they work to overcome obstacles on their road to self-empowerment.

For many of our clients, part of this dream is giving back by volunteering to help others in need. So thank you for your involvement with CPLC. Your contribution is more than a hand-up. It’s a catalyst for change. It’s the stuff of dreams.

Since gaining DACA status, Nephtali, who was brought to the US at age 5, got a job working nights at a construction company.

Nevermind the physical labor—his $16/hour income was critical to helping the family pay rent.

However, with finances tight, and many mouths to feed, he couldn’t scrape together the $500 application fee to renew his DACA status. And the longer he waited, the more likely he would lose his DACA status, and with it his ability to continue working.

At the 11th hour, Nephtali received a grant from CPLC which allowed him to submit the application just before the deadline.

But as long as Congress refuses to pass a long-term DACA solution, Nephtali’s future, the future of his family, and the future of so many like him remain in limbo.

Dreamers, which include DACA recipients as well as most undocumented immigrants 4

brought to the US as minors, represent the reason CPLC’s mission is necessary.

Like Nephtali, Dreamers aren’t asking for handouts. They simply long for the opportunity to contribute to what is often the only home they’ve known. However, forces outside their control create barriers which can be insurmountable.

In addition to providing grants for DACA renewals, CPLC’s work in civil rights and migrant rights serves to empower Dreamers and people like them. This is only the latest chapter in our advocacy for the underserved, which began in 1969, when we fought overt discrimination against Latinos. Today, we focus on pressing human rights issues facing the regions we serve.

While a long-term DACA solution has not yet come to fruition, our progress in the following areas demonstrates our power as a unified community—and a glimpse of what is to come:

H E A LT H C A R E In early 2017, as Congress worked to repeal the Affordable Care Act, CPLC took action.

We convened a coalition of 20 national and local organizations, organizing town halls, action alerts, and district meetings to urge our legislators to vote “no.” CPLC hosted press conferences at our headquarters and testified at the State Capitol on healthcare legislation. In the end, Arizona Senator John McCain’s thumbs-down blocked the bill and provided direct validation of our efforts.

CIVIL RIGHTS CPLC successfully advocated to shut down Tent City as a vocal member of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Advisory Boards. We also met with the governor and law enforcement leaders at all levels across Arizona to rebuild relations with the community and shape policy and implementation of SB 1070 to prevent racial profiling.

CPLC hosted a group of Mexican legislators and senators, as well as the migrant community, to discuss migrant rights. As a result, the senators voted to fund Mexican Consulate programs across the country that help protect the migrant community.

As part of this program, we have hosted 14 Know Your Rights forums across Arizona.

In 2017, CPLC began working with the Department of Homeland Security and Mexican diplomats to counter human trafficking in Arizona and Mexico. We are currently training CPLC staff to recognize victims of trafficking and contact the police.

We are also developing a new program to provide services to former trafficking victims.

CPLC actively supported or opposed over 30 federal and state legislative bills affecting the clients we serve, including education funding, children’s healthcare, affordable housing, and home businesses. CPLC represents the voice of the community, rallying key stakeholders— including elected officials, businesses, and community leaders—to engage.

SURVIVING ISN ’ T ENOUGH FOR MARÍ A .

S H E ’ S B E E N D O I N G T H AT H E R E N T I R E LIFE. NOW IT’S TIME TO THRIVE. María has survived a lot. Two countries. Three major moves. And two abusive relationships.

But when she arrived at CPLC DE COLORES’ Community-Based Program, she was afraid she might not survive much longer.

María had recently fled her husband after he nearly killed her. But the only apartment she could afford was run down, rat infested, and within reach of her husband, who continued stalking her.

CPLC De Colores’ Community-Based Program fills a critical need for people like María, who are not in a position to move into a domestic violence shelter. Our program empowers clients to come on their terms and decide what services they need and when.

María decided to enroll in our legal advocacy program, which helped her get an order of protection and divorce. While we provided support, it was María who made the decisions and put in the legwork to make it happen.

We apply this client-driven approach on a community level. Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all solution, we bring communities together and help them decide what they need, serving as a resource and advocate—an approach that has brought us national recognition. Because the only lasting change—whether in a community or an individual—comes from within.

Once María realized the power she could have over her life, she began to thrive—attending multiple support groups a week and enrolling in other services we offer, including GED, FINANCIAL EDUCATION, and HOUSING. Today, she is in a new apartment, and she is first in line to enroll in De Colores’ new “Promotores” program, where she will mentor survivors recovering from abuse.

María still attends support groups at CPLC. But now she is the face of hope for survivors looking to thrive.

As Vice President of Marketing for a local toy company, Georgia was a homeowner in a nice neighborhood and owned and rode horses as an accomplished equestrian.

After bouncing around on a few friends’ couches, Georgia finally ended up in a transitional housing facility in Phoenix. This turned out to be the scariest circumstance of However, she did not realize that she was living all, rampant with drugs and violence. with undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder.

Georgia felt totally alone and, at times, suicidal. That’s when her case manager As stress levels at work rose, Georgia’s connected her with Chicanos Por La mental health declined. When she sought Causa’s HOUSING FIRST program. professional help, her high-priced psychiatrist seemed more interested in her money than her recovery. He prescribed a combination of drugs which had a devastating effect on her personality. As a result, her relationship with her boyfriend ended, as did her career.

When her disability ran out, Georgia found herself without income or a support system.

She tried going back to work but was still not able to hold on to a job. In desperation, she began selling possessions to stay afloat, but that could only last so long.

Housing First is grounded on the principle that permanent, stable housing is the foundation for success. It puts individuals experiencing homelessness into subsidized housing with no strings attached, and it provides additional resources which clients can choose to utilize when they are ready.

When Georgia stepped onto the grounds of her new apartment complex, she was shocked. Tall trees, lush grass, and warm brick contrasted sharply with the seedy housing facility she had just left. She entered her new apartment with only a few paintings she’d held on to. That was the beginning of her ascent.

Now with a new psychiatrist, Georgia was able to wean herself off all antipsychotic drugs. She became an active member of the local church. She earned credentials to sell insurance and re-entered the workforce. And she reconnected with her old boyfriend, who is now her fiancé.

When Georgia first moved into her Housing First apartment, she wrote down a list of goals that seemed impossible: Get off Medicaid. Get off food stamps. Get a car. Today, she has accomplished them all and more. She no longer receives any subsidies for her rent or utilities, and she is moving out of her original apartment into a larger unit.

At one time, she may have been down, but Georgia is most certainly not out.

She has overcome.

In high school, Francisco attended the CPLC COMMUNIT Y CENTER’S teen program, which prepares low-income youth to become leaders through community service.

But that’s just the beginning of the story.

However, when a staff member asked Francisco about his college plans, he replied that he couldn’t afford to attend.

Now that Francisco has completed his education, he is ready to move on to a career as a Pharmacist—and come back to the CPLC Community Center as a volunteer to help today’s youth get excited about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).

CPLC staff provided the training Francisco needed to apply for scholarships and grants.

As a result, Francisco received enough funding to attend ASU, where he earned degrees in microbiology and biochemistry.

Latinos and minorities are vastly underrepresented in STEM fields, and many young Latinos do not have a role model in a STEM career. Francisco is just one small piece of our efforts to change that.

Many of our students grow up with the perception that their math skills are not strong enough to pursue a STEM career. We show them that couldn’t be further from the truth by hosting hands-on, fun STEM activities where they’re more focused on building a robot or a video game than “doing math.”

By making STEM approachable, we help students build confidence in their abilities. And if they are confident about themselves at a young age, they’re much more likely to succeed in the future.

MOCT E ZU M A ESPA R Z A NE V ER H A S .

It was a Spanish-language movie theatre near his home in East LA that fueled Moctezuma Esparza’s love for film as a child. As he grew older, that love would define his activism.

Esparza’s career has been devoted to providing representation for Latinos onscreen. First, by creating Spanish-language segments on Sesame Street. Later, by producing films which highlight Latino culture and history, such as Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez, and The Milagro Beanfield War, which won an Oscar.

Today, he has turned his sights back to the movie theatre.

Many low-income neighborhoods lack basic retailers such as grocery stores and movie theatres. That means residents have to go across town for services, taking their revenue and tax dollars outside the area.

Esparza has focused on reversing that equation.

His company, Maya, develops movie theatres in low-income Latino markets and just closed a

deal with help from CPLC PRESTAMOS. The new complex will fill an empty lot across from City Hall in North Las Vegas, a predominantly Latino community riddled with poverty, unemployment, and low education.

The project, which will feature a movie theatre, retail, restaurants, and a school, will address the root cause of the city’s problems by sparking economic activity and opportunities, including short- and long-term accessible jobs for local residents. This approach aligns with the City of North Las Vegas’ economic development strategy for long-term growth.

Prestamos contributed a $7 MILLION LOAN through the New Markets tax credit1 program, making the $30 million project possible.

By contributing to these kinds of projects, CPLC provides opportunities for low-income communities to become self-sustaining.

As for Esparza, it’s just another day at the movies.
