Policy and Advocacy
As the largest Latino umbrella organization in the nation, HF collaborates with our network of nonprofits in 42 states and territories as well as local, state, and national leaders and institutions to identify inequities and develop solutions to address them. Our policy and advocacy work aims to advance Latino opportunity and equity by focusing on three pillars: Civil Rights, Justice, and Equity and Empowerment.
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.
Equity and Empowerment
Promoting equity and empowerment for all Latinos is core to Hispanic Federation’s advocacy agenda. Our policy framework presents culturally and linguistically pertinent solutions that aim to tackle the structural and systemic barriers responsible for perpetuating social and economic disparities. HF advocates for equitable policies that work to empower Latinos to fully contribute and benefit from the nation’s growth.
