The Country’s Prosperity and Success is Tied to the Success of Latinos
This week, we released our new report, “Investing in our Future: A Latino Policy Agenda for the 114th Congress.” The policy agenda highlights the risks involved with ignoring the Latino electorate’s priorities in the run up to the 2016 elections. The guide provides policymakers with concrete steps they can take to improve educational and economic outcomes for Latino families, support enrollment in health insurance and move forward on passing comprehensive immigration reform. Latinos are a growing segment of the U.S. population and a critical part of our nation’s future workforce; their success is intrinsically tied to the success of our nation and our future economic prosperity.
Below is a full recording of the press event where we unveiled the report as well as highlights. Also be sure to read the full report.
