Our Legislative Priorities in 2025

Somos will continue to grow power for low-wage workers and immigrant families. Our upcoming legislative priorities include:

1

Advocating for more funding for adult education such as ESL, GED, Literacy, and Integrated Education Training (IET) programs in rural communities.

2

Securing flexible funding for support services and economic aid for workers in job training programs and stronger partnerships with community-based organizations.

3

Lifting restrictions For immigrant adult workers who can’t access in-state tuition and financial aid for credit and non-credit workforce certification programs.

4

Securing funding to support immigration legal services.

5

Safeguarding personal driver’s license information to prevent it from being sold to companies that may share it with ICE.

6

Preventing the state, cities and counties from using local resources to assist ICE in civil immigration enforcement.

7

Developing an economic relief program to support workers and families affected by I-9 audits, immigration raids, detentions, and deportations.
