1971 - First case initiated by Public Advocates

La Raza Unida & The Sierra Club v. Volpe resulted in a preliminary injunction that halted construction of a $100M freeway that would’ve displaced more than five thousand low-income Mexican Americans in Alameda County. The 14 miles of highway was planned to run through Hayward, Union City and Fremont. The case was decided on September 9, 1971.
