"I'm focusing all my efforts from now to November on stopping Trump," he said.

Villaraigosa called Trump a racist and a misogynist and said he started the group's fundraising efforts with a $1,000 donation of his own.

Trump has alienated many Hispanic voters with his promise to build a wall along the border with Mexico and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, as well as his initial casting of Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists.

"Both Democrats and Republicans are horrified at the prospect of a Trump presidency," Villaraigosa said.
