We Want your Feedback

As the San Jose Chamber plans for 2026, we’re asking our business community to share honest input on what’s working — and what’s not — about Chamber membership. Whether you’re an active member, a past member, or simply engaged in San Jose’s economy, your perspective will help shape the programs, advocacy, and partnerships we prioritize next year. 

Supporting Businesses Amid Increased ICE Activity

ICE enforcement actions are disrupting business in San Jose, particularly in East San Jose, creating workforce uncertainty across industries. The American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association will host a webinar this Thursday, Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. ET on how workplace raids impact employers and what rights business owners have—register here.

Locally, the Rapid Response Network supports affected workers and employers. If you see ICE activity, call (408) 290-1144. This resource is also listed on our Small Business webpage.
