Latinos are a vital part of the U.S. economy
Our policies will help Latinos achieve equity.
Latinos have experienced disproportionate harm to both their lives and livelihoods as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has worsened preexisting disparities in income and wealth.
We build solutions to decrease income inequality, advocate for better access to affordable homeownership, and promote policies to lift more Latinos out of poverty.
We firmly believe that when we open doors for more people to participate in our economy, we can all do better.
Did you know?
We advocate for increased access to tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, including expanding access to all children, regardless of immigration status, as a way to reduce poverty.
We lead the largest network of community-based nonprofit organizations dedicated to creating new Latino homeowners, and advocate for policies that allow more Latinos to afford to buy a home.
Our workforce development programs strengthen communities by increasing pathways for Latino workers to improve their educations and skills, connecting youth with meaningful employment, and expanding opportunities for bilingual workers. We also promote robust workforce policies to ensure an equal footing for all workers.
