Last month, UNITE-LA's Sonia Campos-Rivera and Jasmin Sakai-Gonzalez joined Abby Raisz of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, to present findings from UNITE-LA’s Business Perspectives on Immigrant Talent and Economic Growth report alongside the Council’s newly released immigration report at the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce’s 46th Annual Convention in Pomona.

The session underscored a simple truth: immigrant workers, who make up one-third of California’s workforce, are essential to our state’s growth, competitiveness and innovation. Along with providing key insights, UNITE-LA connected with likeminded leaders, members of the business community and fellow changemakers in hopes to support one another in building bridges, creating opportunities and ensuring a brighter future for all.
