Civil Rights Issue Areas
Voter Rights
Voter rights are fundamental to a functioning democracy, ensuring that all citizens can participate in the electoral process and exercise their rights. Protecting these rights is essential for representative governance.
Latinos often face obstacles to voting, such as voter ID laws, language barriers, gerrymandering, and intimidation. Advocating for voter rights ensures that the Latino community can exercise their democratic rights and influence policies that affect their lives and communities.
LGBTQIA+ Rights
LGBTQIA+ rights advocate for the equal treatment and protection of individuals regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This is crucial for fostering a society that respects and values diversity.
LGBTQIA+ individuals within the Latino community often face additional layers of discrimination and stigma. By promoting LGBTQIA+ rights, we can create a more inclusive environment where all Latinos can live authentically and safely.
Women's Rights
Women’s rights focus on achieving gender equality and protecting a woman’s right to make decisions related to their reproductive health.
Advocating for women’s rights helps address these issues, promoting the well-being and empowerment of Latina women to have the right to chose what is best for their health.
Gun Safety Reform
Gun safety reform seeks to reduce gun violence through comprehensive measures like background checks, restrictions on certain firearms, and community-based interventions. These efforts are crucial for ensuring public health and safety.
Advocating for gun safety reform helps protect communities by reducing violence and creating safer environments for Latino families and communities.
