Historically, LULAC has focused heavily on education, civil rights, and employment for Hispanics. LULAC councils provide more than a million dollars in scholarships to Hispanic students each year, conduct citizenship and voter registration drives, develop low-income housing units, conduct youth leadership training programs, and seek to empower the Hispanic community at the local, state and national level.

Since 2010, LULAC of Riverside has done extensive work within the community. We began our first year with a redistricting effort.   This was quite a process with our members participating in many meetings and hearings.  Our chapter drafted a convincing argument and composed the maps that were eventually adopted by the redistricting commission.  Because of Riverside LULAC’s efforts, the new 41st Congressional District was adopted along with two California State Assembly districts and one State Senatorial district.
