The CRLA aims "To fight for justice and individual rights alongside the most exploited communities of our society", and has a vision of justice for rural California, "where all people are treated with dignity and respect, and guaranteed their fundamental rights". In pursuit of these, they publish many helpful resources, some of which deal directly with retaliation for speaking up. See their downloadable brochures.
