Groups and Funding sources..
what groups fomented la riots this past weekend ?
The riots in Los Angeles this past weekend (June 7-9, 2025) were primarily fomented by protests against federal immigration raids conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
While there isn’t a single “group” that exclusively fomented all the unrest, the protests involved:
Unaffiliated protesters: Many individuals from the community, especially those concerned about immigration enforcement, participated in the demonstrations.
Immigrant rights advocates: Groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) and others advocating for the rights of undocumented immigrants were involved in organizing or supporting the protests.
Labor unions: The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was mentioned as organizing rallies in response to the detention of one of their members during the raids.
Other activist groups: Some reports mention groups like Unión del Barrio, Community Self-Defense Coalition, Centro CSO, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation as being involved in the protests.
The protests escalated into violent clashes with law enforcement, including the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the California National Guard (which was federally deployed by President Trump despite objections from the state governor). There were also reports of looting and vandalism.
what are the sources of funding to CHIRLA ?
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) receives funding from a variety of sources, consistent with its status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. These sources generally include:
Individual Contributions and Donations: A significant portion of CHIRLA’s funding comes from individual donors. They emphasize community support and encourage direct donations, membership drives, and other ways for individuals to contribute.
Grants from Foundations: CHIRLA receives grants from various philanthropic foundations. Examples of foundations that have supported CHIRLA include:
The Ford Foundation (which provided initial funding for their establishment in 1986).
The Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund.
The Bauman Foundation.
Government Grants: CHIRLA has received federal grants, including from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for citizenship and integration programs. They also participate in public-private partnerships, such as the Los Angeles Justice Fund (LAJF) and RepresentLA, which involve funding from the City and County of Los Angeles, along with private foundations like the California Community Foundation and Weingart Foundation.
Program Services: While contributions are their primary source of revenue, some income may also come from program services, though this is typically a smaller percentage.
Fundraising Events and Partnerships: CHIRLA organizes events like annual galas and benefit fundraisers, and also engages in partnerships (e.g., AmazonSmile, stock giving options) to generate support.
Organizations like GuideStar and Charity Navigator provide financial reports and ratings for nonprofits like CHIRLA, offering transparency on their funding and operations. CHIRLA has received high ratings from both.
