Our office held a workshop at the Boyle Heights Technology Youth Center with nearly 300 attendees to help community members file their taxes and obtain up to thousands of dollars in refunds! Attendees then got to enjoy FREE tacos! With April 15, 2024 around the corner, it is imperative to not only file taxes on-time but also learn how you can maximize your refunds.

We gave out hundreds of toys at Estrada Courts in Boyle Heights to help community members celebrate the holidays! Thank you to all volunteers and a special thank you to Santa for joining us!

Assembly Member Miguel Santiago hosted his fourth annual Father’s Day tribute march “Serenatas para Papa” with the Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA (WELA YMCA) and Senator Durazo through Boyle Heights with mariachis and community members. It was the first time the march took place in public housing community Estrada Courts in Boyle Heights. 

Assembly Member Santiago joined Sen. Alex Padilla, Congressmember Jimmy Gomez, Congressmember Robert Garcia, Father John Moretta, and Community Leader Terry Cano to announce their work to make the Exide cleanup site a "Superfund site." This designation would help expedite the Exide cleanup. Exide's factory which has since closed polluted the community with lead which causes harmful health effects such as miscarriages, developmental disabilities and more. In addition to the Superfund site work, Assembly Member Santiago is leading the effort to pass AB 861 this year which would increase oversight of the Exide cleanup. Just last May, Assembly Member Santiago also helped secure $67.3 million in additional funding in the budget to clean up parkways polluted by Exide’s lead.

Our office partnered with the Michelson Found Animals Foundation and other community groups to put on this event in Boyle Heights at the Weingart East LA YMCA. We offered FREE wellness services (vaccines, flea treatment, microchipping) and FREE hygiene services (nail trimming, ear cleaning and teeth brushing). Over 400 community members attended to help take care of their dogs and cats (and even adopt a few orphaned pets).
