More about Tony Herrera:
I’m a former Workers’ Compensation and Business consultant living and working in Los Angeles, California. I’ve spent 20+ years working with the undocumented immigrant population. I provide them assistance in securing medical and vocational benefits when they sustained work related injuries.
I’m passionate about protecting immigrant rights and work closely with many community based organizations on this front.
Presently I work as Director for Community Engagement at Fundacion Jalisco USA a non-profit organization comprised of 35 Hometown Associations (HTAs) from representing communities in the Mexican State of Jalisco. What’s an HTA? An HTA is an immigrant networked organization formed specifically to engage in small philanthropic projects that benefit the immigrant communities in the US and Mexico. HTAs raise thousands of dollars to support small local development projects both in the US and Mexico, projects include food banks, and free blankets to marginalized communities and educational learning centers, as well as senior citizen centers.

Even more:
I’m an internet junkie and constantly searching for ways to narrow the “digital divide” in the immigrant communities. I’m into OpenCourseWare, Wikipedia, OpenSource anything and Resilient Communities.
I like Social Media Networks and they occupy lots of my free time, much to the chagrin of my family.
