Over 25,000 men stand on the street corners of Los Angeles every day looking for work. Known as Day Laborers this predominantly immigrant population must support their families on the tenuous living provided by day to day jobs. Chirla (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights in LA) has spent the last 10 years working with the men and the communities in which they solicit work to address concerns and safeguard their ability to earn a living with dignity and respect.
