Advocacy

Overview

Advocacy at LCF is rooted in action, trust, and community voices. We act swiftly and with care and always ask – what does this mean for our community partners. Our advocacy is love in action. Power on display. And Culture at the forefront. Through our advocacy, we demonstrate the power of connections between people, communities, and allies in shaping a multi-racial democracy with nuestra comunidad.

Advocacy is Power

LCF equips Latino communities with the tools, resources, and relationships they need to demand change, drive policy, and deliver results. We amplify our partners’ leadership, invest in their vision, and make sure they always have a seat at the table. Because when Latinos lead, our democracy thrives.

Building Civic Power

Policy Agenda

Our policy agenda is a bold, forward-thinking initiative designed to address the challenges that disproportionately affect Latinos, such as fair wages, healthcare access and wellness, educational equity, and immigration policy.

By tackling these systemic barriers, we aim to create a future where every Latino can thrive.
