Georgia- State Program Coordinator

Poder Latinx was born out of that desire to build political power for Latinos nationwide, using innovative strategies and tools that resonated with the youth. The Poder Latinx founders led an integrated voter engagement organization where all aspects of voter engagement, issue-based campaigns, leadership development, voting reform, and narrative change form a continuous cycle of political consciousness. This consciousness equips the Latinx community to become agents of change now. And that’s precisely what they did. The initial work started in Florida, with a small staff providing voting rights information, canvassing, and voter registration, and has grown to a nationwide team in Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina and Washington, where we also focus on issue-based education and civic engagement.
