What's happening today
We're the largest Latino civil rights organization in the United States.
Through our unique combination of research, advocacy, programs, and a national network of nearly 300 community-based Affiliate organizations across the country, we simultaneously challenge the social, economic, and political barriers that affect Latinos in the United States across a range of key issues:
Civil rights and racial equity
As we dismantle racism, we’re committed to showing all Americans what structural racism is and what we can all do to end it.
Education
We advocate for high-quality education from early childhood through college, vocational training, and beyond.
Health
We build policies and programs to ensure everyone’s right to be healthy regardless of where they live, learn, play, or pray.
Housing and financial empowerment
Good policies can unleash the power of the Hispanic community and benefit all Americans.
Voting and political empowerment
We reach out to voters and potential voters to make sure all eligible Latinos are registered, informed, and empowered to act.
Workforce development
We want to enable an ecosystem that supports Latinx individuals in their journey to thrive in the workforce and achieve economic prosperity.
