Our Advocacy Pillars

Our policy and advocacy work aims to advance Latino opportunity and equity by focusing on three pillars: Civil Rights, Justice, and Equity and Empowerment.

Civil Rights

Advancing and safeguarding civil rights for Latinos stands as a paramount priority at HF. We advocate to combat Latino discrimination, dismantle bias and hate, and ensure that every Latino possesses the fundamental right to participate and be heard in our democracy.

Justice

Advocating for just policies for the Latino community is vital to Hispanic Federation’s mission. Our community is diverse, and it is imperative that regardless of our differences, we all have equal and fair opportunities to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Hispanic Federation continuously works to empower historically marginalized communities to ensure fair treatment for all individuals in this nation.
