Ronen has rejoined La Raza as executive director, beginning part-time before transitioning to full-time in August 2026. The organization, which defends immigrant rights, has seen its revenue nearly double since 2019, though it relies heavily on government grants, 72% of which were reported in 2024.
With San Francisco facing a significant budget deficit exceeding $600 million, the funding for nonprofits is at risk. Ronen aims to integrate legal defense with broader advocacy to address systemic issues.
The organization has successfully halted courthouse arrests through innovative legal strategies against the Trump administration. As competition for funding intensifies, the organization's operational sustainability may be challenged.
