As the only DOJ recognized non-profit with close proximity to the Mesa Verde Detention Center in Bakersfield, the organization continued to grow its removal (deportation) defense program in 2019, opening 17 cases, including 30 cases from Immigration Legal Defense, a nonprofit fiscally sponsored by the UFW Foundation. In 2019, the UFW Foundation directly opened 7,121 new immigration cases. Indirectly, 715 new cases were opened by funded partner agencies and 758 from Immigration Legal Defense. Additionally, community members were provided assistance with tax preparation, eligibility screening and enrollment in safety net programs. 814783 PolicyFederalIn 2019, the UFW Foundation focused on several federal policy campaigns. In January 2019, the Agricultural Worker Program Act of 2019 (Blue Card bill) was introduced. This legislation, sponsored by the UFW Foundation, was introduced on Jan. 17, 2019 by U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). This bill would provide legal status with a path to citizenship for farm workers. Similarly, the UFW Foundation worked in bipartisan fashion, alongside the United Farm Workers of America, to negotiate, introduce and pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (H.R.5038). Three farm worker delegations went to Washington DC to speak with Congressional members about the need for legal status. As such, this groundbreaking bill passed the House of Representatives on December 11, 2019 with overwhelming support (260 165), including 34 Republican votes. The bill was received in the Senate on December 12, 2019. This is the first time in decades that the full House, under either party, has enacted an agricultural immigration bill. Additionally, the Fairness for Farm Workers Act by U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and U.S. Rep. Ral M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) was introduced to end the exclusion of farm workers from overtime pay federally 81 years after nearly all other U.S. workers secured overtime. The UFW Foundation continues to work on passage of these three important bills in 2020.StateOn February 21 2019, California State Senator Maria Elena Durazo introduced Senate Bill 458, the Protect Children from Brain-Damaging Chlorpyrifos Act of 2019 in the California legislature. UFW Foundation joined our sister organization, the United Farm Workers, and Earthjustice in sponsoring this important legislation. This bill would prohibit the use of pesticide products that contain the brain-damaging ingredient Chlorpyrifos. The UFW Foundation mobilized farm workers who were impacted by Chlorpyrifos poisoning to speak with legislators in the capitol regarding the impact of this chemical. Although Governor Gavin Newsoms Administration announced the start of a regulatory process to end the use of Chlorpyrifos, the UFW Foundation continues push legislation that truly codifies the ban of Chlorpyrifos. 300597 Systemic Change (formerly, Civic Participation)Through the Systemic Change program, the UFW Foundation lifts the voices of farm workers as they become spokespeople for their communities by interacting with news media and social media, sharing their stories, and informing policymakers of the needs of farm workers and immigrants throughout the year. The organization also conducted outreach events to educate the community about workplace health and safety, the eligibility requirements for safety net programs, available immigration relief and the rights of immigrants.In 2019, the federal administration proposed changes to the H-2A agricultural guestworker program. These proposed changes would impact farm workers wages and job security. Working alongside partner organizations, such as the United Farm Workers and Farmworker Justice, 82,509 public comments were submitted. Additionally, in-depth farm workers testimonies were also shared with congressional members regarding the impact of these proposed changes. H2A Campaign: 82,509 public comments submitted, including 77 in-depth testimonies from workers sharing how Trumps proposed changes to the H2A program would impact their wages and job security, 3,340 postcards from farm workers and rural community members, and 79,092 digital comments from allies and supporters throughout the United States. A joint organizational comment on behalf of the UFW/UFWF that featured worker testimonies was also submitted, and the Chairs (House) and Ranking Members (Senate) of the Judiciary and Labor Committees submitted letters opposing the H-2A proposal as well. 4762213 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 30 0 true 68 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true false false true true false true true true false true true true false CA X PAM ASHLUND 3232642700 3002 WHITTIER BLVD LOS ANGELES CA 90023 X Diana Tellefson Torres Executive Director 40.00 0.00 96744 0 7404 ARTURO S RODRIGUEZ FORMER PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 72638 0 0 Teresa Romero Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tanis Ybarra President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Guadalupe Martinez Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ramon Ramirez Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrea La Rue Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 169382 7404 0 true false false RFK MEDICAL PLAN PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 MEDICAL BENEFITS 351968 ENTIDAD 3759 W AVE 40 STE K104 LOS ANGELES CA 90065 APPLICATIONS CONSULT 150000 MARTINEZ AGUILASOCHO & LYNCH 1527 19TH ST STE 332 BAKERSFIELD CA 93301 LEGAL 140326 3 32238 3850305 1711447 5593990 HR SERVICES 92469 92469 TAX SERVICES 7705 7705 100174 13385 13385 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 25655 25655 25655 5733204 125829 13385 1363575 1363575 0 0 0 104448 104448 0 2089224 1626834 335026 127364 12698 12698 487922 403158 65002 19762 188482 149671 28139 10672 0 28527 21777 6750 12718 2154 10512 52 0 0 0 297908 192223 84892 20793 0 78084 65640 10059 2385 42351 34568 6071 1712 0 218490 183377 27482 7631 173955 163596 4866 5493 0 48967 41494 4079 3394 519 489 10 20 0 15343 12357 2986 35309 33102 1659 548 FEES, LICENSE, ADVERTISING 130958 112597 8671 9690 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 49773 45027 3726 1020 TELEPHONE 29924 26590 2626 708 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 27777 24315 2617 845 114567 155221 -43498 2844 5551519 4762213 574373 214933 1449368 714536 0 0 1064572 1503972 0 0 0 0 16149 7570 92094 23770 74708 68324 212573 216831 0 0 0 120507 12176 2937877 2523409 1088426 492273 1088426 492273 X 1126393 1063681 723058 967455 1849451 2031136 2937877 2523409 181685 X false true X true false X 2799972 1749314 4871148 5362969 5593990 20377393 0 0 2799972 1749314 4871148 5362969 5593990 20377393 0 20377393 3338 11852 11510 22208 11094 60002 0 -1816 51046 19274 -20011 2290 50783 20488178 0.99460 0.98610 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 63394 234096 297490 297490 59498 14875 48519 237992 false 1542 7081 7615 59498 75736 113604 7711 35407 38077 297490 378685 386 1770 1904 14875 18935 28403 4597 26132 27532 63394 121655 92094 23770 68324 68324 5733204 5733204 5733204 5551519 5551519 5551519 true Central California Legal Serv 2115 Kern St Ste 1 Fresno CA 93721 941631809 63625 0 CDSS - ILS Centro Binacional para el Des 744 N Abby St Fresno CA 93701 770337939 102584 0 CDSS - O&S; Sierra Health (policy c Centro La Familia Advocacy Se 302 Fresno St Ste 102 Fresno CA 93706 770310310 90518 0 CDSS - ILS, O&S, DACA Education and Leadership Foun 4290 E Ashlan Ave Fresno CA 93726 260417563 85584 0 CDSS - ILS, O&S, DACA; Sierra Healt Immigrant Legal Defense 1322 Webster St 300 Oakland CA 94612 988926 0 CDSS - Immigration Legal Services Organizacion en California de PO Box 20033 Oxnard CA 93034 954611282 5865 0 CDSS - O&S Proteus Inc 1830 N Dinuba Blvd Visalia CA 93291 770337939 10200 0 CDSS - O&S Youth 2 Leaders 1701 Westwind Dr Ste 116 Bakersfield CA 93301 770398516 15300 0 CDSS - O&S 8 0 false false false false false false false false false ARTURO S RODRIGUEZ FORMER PRESIDENT 72638 72638 JESUS TORRES SPOUSE OF ED 150000 TECH CONSULTING false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information One of the partners of Entidad, an independent contract, is the Executive Directors husband.
