We Secure Life-Saving Medical Treatments
After 20-year-old Jose Chua Lopez was twice denied entry into the United States for an urgently needed heart and liver transplant, CDLU’s executive director K.B. Forbes successfully fought to secure a Humanitarian Visa and bring Jose to the prestigious Mayo Clinic.
We Fight For the Unprotected
Investigating The Corrupt
The CDLU’s investigative reports have prompted U.S. congressional probes, including hearings by the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee and the U.S. Senate Finance Committee.
Helping the Disadvantaged
We have secured free legal help for more than 1,200 families, forced Citibank to rescind its “extortion fee” on the working poor, and documented cases of mortgage fraud leading to the prosecution of the largest home mortgage companies and banks in the United States.
Protecting the Vulnerable
CDLU’s efforts were instrumental in shutting down a state-sanctioned facility in California that allowed a sexual predator to abuse mentally disabled adult children.
We Are Impatient Optimists
When we look around we see overwhelming suffering and injustice. The problems seem so big that some are tempted to give up or look the other way. After all, what can one person do? We say, “One person can change a life. And a community of people can change the world.” And there’s no better time to change the world than right now.
