CALÓ News - Non-profits, city leaders join forces to support immigrants and others affected by ICE raids

Brenda Fernanda Verano, June 12, 2025 -- “You are not alone, Los Angeles,” is the central message of a coalition made up of diverse, non-partisan, non-profit organizations and community leaders joining forces to support Angelenos in response to deportations and ICE raids happening throughout the region. 

“The immigrant community is not alone. We are very much aware that if forces come against one of us, they're coming for all of us. Today we are coming together,” Capri Maddox, executive director of the LA Civil Rights Department, told CALÓ News. 

The Together in Service Coalition, made up of local organizations and social justice groups such as the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, the American Red Cross, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Center for Nonprofit Management, Central City Neighborhood Partners, SELA Collaborative, Students Run LA and Proyecto Pastoral, among others, announced it will continue and amplify its services in times like these.
