Our Immigrant Community: Contributions and Current Challenges
Over 10% of the population of San Luis Obispo County are immigrants who contribute to our community and economy daily, the large majority of whom have lived in the United States for over 15 years. Today their rights, livelihoods, and safety are being challenged. Our panelists will help us understand the current situation facing this community and how we can help.
The immigrant population of San Luis Obispo County is integral to the county’s economy, social fabric, and cultural diversity. Comprising more than 10% of our population and working in all sectors of our economy, they contribute to the well-being of our community and its prosperity. Addressing their unique challenges—particularly in housing, healthcare, education, and economic security—is essential to fostering an inclusive and resilient community.
Our panelists work closely with this community on a daily basis, helping them to navigate their legal rights, the healthcare system, and the issues of homelessness and unfair labor practices. They will discuss the current challenges facing this community including disenfranchisement, threats of incarceration and deportation, and diminished access to social services including healthcare. They will provide information on the steps being taken to help this community and what needs to be done.
