Often, the ACLU has supported Mexican American organizations in lawsuits regarding segregation and voting discrimination. The Confederacion de Uniones Obreras Mexicanas
1928: The federation of Mexican workers Union was the first ever union for Mexican workers, founded in Los Angeles in 1928. The focus of the organization was to deal with the issues of increasing unemployment among Mexican immigrants as the U.S. economy began to weaken. The CUOM served as an umbrella group for the agricultural unions in Southern California, which were made up of Mexican Americans. In 1928 the organization had over 3,000 members and represented 8 different unions. After the Great Depression hit the US the CUOM also began advocating for restrictions on repatriation and immigration. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
