Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

No, you can't. Having a pending I-130 doesn't authorize you to work by itself. You have to be eligible to apply for adjustment of status and a work permit. If not eligible, can't work and can't stay in USA unless on some other long-term non-immigrant visa.
