We fight to ensure that all workers are afforded equal and fair treatment pursuant to local, state, and federal laws. Our staff and Board believe that work and workplace conditions are critical social determinants of health and that employment is essential to self-sufficiency, affords dignity, and facilitates civic engagement. LAAW acts on these principles through a variety of strategies, including: conducting targeted community outreach and education, building the capacity of grassroots organizations, medical service providers, and community-based partner organizations around California to understand and advocate for their rights on the job and beyond. providing brief legal advice and counsel to low-wage workers through in-person legal clinics and legal telephone helplines engaging in strategic litigation to both improve the law for w false false 6249742 216875 786451 We helped an unhoused, formerly incarcerated client keep his living-wage job when his employer threatened to rescind his job offer because a background check had turned up old parole revocations. Within 48 hours, we helped the client negotiate with his employer and retain his union job, which ultimately landed him in stable housing.We fought to secure reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities who were impacted by COVID-19. For example, we obtained a favorable settlement on behalf of an office manager whose dedicated service of 15 years had abruptly ended because her boss fired her for requesting telework accommodations in the midst of the pandemic.On the 50th Anniversary of Title IX (which requires gender equity in public schools) we and co-counsel won an appeal in the 9th Circuit that allowed female athletes at Hawaiis largest public high school to proceed with a class action lawsuit alleging egregious sex discrimination against girls in the schools athletic program.Along with coalition partners, we successfully championed Legislation (SB 951) that will dramatically increase the amount of money that workers with low incomes can obtain from Californias Paid Family Leave and Disability Insurance programs. Before this legislation, people with low incomes (who are disproportionately people of color) often could not afford to use these vital programs because the wage replacement rate was simply too low.We helped immigrant workers statewide by securing a precedent-setting decision from the California Court of Appeal. It held that California law bars defense counsel from inquiring into immigrant plaintiffs work authorization except in the narrowest of circumstances and upon a strict showing of legal necessity.In partnership with Trabajadores Unidos Workers United (TUWU), we helped secure a decision from the California Labor Commissioner for $2.2 million in stolen wages for former employees of a Burger King franchise in San Francisco who were subjected to wage theft.We provided individualized legal advice and counsel to approximately 3,000 people in the past year, including through our 13 regular Workers' Rights Clinic sites (and 4 additional evening clinics to meet increased client demand) throughout California that we operate in close partnership with 8 law schools, 150 law students, 100 volunteer attorneys, and 11 community based organizations. 6249742 true true false true false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 48 0 true 56 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 67 67 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Ling Yuan 4158648848 180 Montgomery St Ste 600 SF CA 94104 Joan Graff President 35.00 0.00 X 223513 0 50003 Howard Chen VP HR 35.00 0.00 X 166838 0 72766 Christopher Ho Dir Origin Immg La 35.00 0.00 173478 0 59372 Kevin Clune VP Strategy 35.00 0.00 X 170687 0 41279 Jinny Kim Dir Disabled Right 35.00 0.00 152807 0 45935 Elizabeth Kristen Dir Gend Eq LGBT 35.00 0.00 141698 0 51861 Sharon Terman Dir.

We recognized general operating grants as unrestricted revenue once the agreement is signed, regardless of whether cash is received or not. On the other hand, we recognize grant revenue as restricted revenue when payments are received or grant agreement is signed. Based on the terms in the grant agreement, we either release the restricted grant revenue to unrestricted revenue by passage of time, or when obligations have been fulfilled.
