About us
We are UnidosUS, the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, formerly known as the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). Our mission is to build a stronger America by creating opportunities for the Latino community. To achieve this, we conduct applied research, policy analysis, and advocacy, providing a Latino perspective in key areas such as civil rights and immigration, education, health, housing & financial empowerment, racial equity, voting & political empowerment, and workforce development. Through #AffiliatesUnidos, our network of affiliated community-based organizations (CBOs), we reach millions of Latinos each year across the United States and Puerto Rico. We provide our Affiliates with capacity-building assistance to improve their work at the state and local level to advance opportunities for individuals and families.

Los votantes latinos podrían decidir la elección de este año, y , esta noche mientras #LosLatinosPreguntan en Florida, se presenta una oportunidad para escuchar los temas que realmente les importan. Casi la mitad de los votantes latinos en Florida son nuevos desde 2016, y según nuestras encuestas sus principales preocupaciones son la estabilidad económica y el costo de vida. Con el 60% de los votantes hispanos reportando que no han sido contactados por campañas, estamos en un momento crítico. Mientras Univision organizó un foro en Nevada y hoy uno en Florida, aseguremos que nuestras voces se escuchen y que nuestras prioridades estén en el centro del debate. Latino voters could decide this year’s election, and tonight’s town hall in Florida presents an opportunity to hear the issues that really matter to them. Nearly half of Florida Latino voters are new since 2016, and our polls reveal their top concerns are economic stability and pocketbook issues. With 60% of Latino voters reporting no contact from campaigns, we’re at a crossroads. As Univision hosted a town hall in Nevada and today one in Florida, let’s ensure our voices are heard and our priorities are center stage. #UnidosUS #Destino2024

If #DACA ends, up to 17,000 educators across the country could be lost, impacting more than 250,000 students in classes across the country, and up to 7 million students in the decades ahead. As the future of DACA remains uncertain with ongoing litigation, it’s crucial for educators and school system leaders to understand the potential impacts on the K-12 community. If you’re interested in learning more about the impact of DACA within K-12 schools and how schools and districts can support recipients, you can’t miss the webinar “DACA in Danger: How an End to DACA Would Impact the K-12 Ecosystem” taking place this Thursday, October 17, at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET 📅 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eNwq6uU9 #UnidosUS

Just weeks before Election Day, over 48% of Latino voters report no contact from any campaign, despite Latino voters’ potential to tip the scales in critical national and state races. This is why we joined 14 other Latino organizations in sending a letter to both parties sounding the alarm about insufficient outreach efforts to Latino voters. To earn our trust and our votes, candidates must engage directly with Latino communities and outline real solutions for key issues like inflation, job security,] and housing affordability. https://lnkd.in/gv_CVSuH #UnidosUS

As #HispanicHeritageMonth comes to a close, we reflect on the extraordinary stories we’ve shared—stories of our shared history as Latinos and as Americans. Leaders like Nina Otero-Warren, Roberto Clemente, the Méndez family and periods like the Bracero Program era are not just part of Latino history; they are integral to U.S. history. From pioneering the women’s suffrage movement to advocating for civil rights and shaping the systems that feed and clothe all Americans, the contributions of Latinos are woven into the fabric of this country. Their stories of courage, resilience and perseverance have shaped the course of U.S. history, and they deserve to be taught in every classroom. We believe these achievements are not only worth celebrating but are essential for students to understand the full scope of our nation’s history. By including Latino history in the curriculum, we ensure that future generations recognize the powerful role Latinos have played—and continue to play—in building the United States of America. As we approach this year’s presidential election, remember that in a democracy, all citizens have the power to choose their leaders, but this power is only exercised by those who actually vote! Join us in honoring those who fought for our place in the fabric of this nation by casting your vote.

After the U.S. annexation of Mexican territories in 1848, both Mexican Americans and Native Americans were forced off their land and subjected to marginalization. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Indigenous groups like the Pueblo people of New Mexico united with Mexican Americans to fight for communal land rights. Together, they challenged the U.S. legal system, which disregarded both Spanish and Indigenous land grants. Today, on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the resilience, contributions and rich cultures of Indigenous peoples in the Americas and the deep connection between our communities in our continued fight for justice and recognition. #UnidosUS
