California Agricultural Laborers Association

The California Agricultural Laborers Association advocates for farm workers' interests. Ivan Perez leads the group and represents it in outreach to White House staff. Donna Moss receives Perez's voicemails requesting a five-minute meeting during a California trip, as he stays at the same hotel. C.J. discloses in a briefing that Donna met Perez, whom she describes as having loose ties to the American Communist Party, which draws press attention and requires quick damage control. The association operates at the intersection of labor organizing and national politics, navigating access to administration figures amid ideological scrutiny.
