The PEOC is a non-profit day labor organization whose mission is to provide an opportunity for day laborers to find safe work at a fair wage, to obtain new trades and skills that improve their employability and quality of life, and to improve overall conditions for all immigrant workers. The PEOC is made up of day laborers, household workers, other low-wage, immigrant workers, community leaders, Pomona residents, students from Claremont Colleges, and supporters of worker and immigrants rights coalition leaders.
Fernando Pedraza Community Coalition
The FPCC continues the mission of the jornalero activist Fernando Pedraza who was tragically killed when hit by a car while at the corner on May 5, 2007. He was a leader of the corner who wanted what was best for the workers of Arrow and Grove – to cultivate a more positive perception of jornaleros and ask the City of Rancho Cucamonga for a safe environment to find work.
FPCC’s primary goals include increasing the financial security, safety, health, civic participation and human rights of day laborers in the Pomona Valley region, along with addressing and working to change the systemic obstacles that stand in the way of achieving those goals.
