OUR WORK
MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT THAT PROMOTES CIVIC PARTICIPATION
The results of recent election cycles have shown that Latinos play a decisive role in shaping the outcome of several critical races and can no longer be ignored. The future of America’s democracy depends on sustained, meaningful engagement that promotes civic participation and policy outcomes that resonate with the Latino community.
For over 45 years, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) has been protecting and empowering the Latino workforce by educating workers about their rights and building support for labor unions in Latino communities. LCLAA brings together Latino trade unionists to strengthen the labor movement and promote the social, economic and political progress of Latino working families. Each year through field organizing capacity, LCLAA chapters and volunteers engage in voter registration drives and Get-Out-The-Vote campaigns to increase both civic participation and political progress within the Latino community.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic it is extremely important for us to ensure that our democracy remains responsive to all of the nation’s electorate, it is critical that Latinos can fully participate in the 2020 Elections in a safe and accessible manner.
