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.

Schools, charities and critical government programs were thrown into turmoil after a reckless and unlawful overreach of executive powers halted funds without warning. Russell Vought spearheaded this overreach and will only deepen this instability. How? He advocates for the president’s ability to have unchecked power over federal spending, including withholding funds — no matter how critical they are. U.S. Senators should oppose Russell Vought’s nomination to be the next director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). https://bit.ly/3Eo96nh

No child should live in fear of losing a parent at school. No patient should hesitate to seek care out of fear. No one should face arrest while seeking sanctuary. These injustices are cruel and unnecessary. https://bit.ly/4hokGNx

A leader should protect, not mislead. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Latinos turned to trusted messengers, including promotores de salud, for lifesaving health information. RFK Jr. has spent decades doing the opposite—spreading lies about vaccines & health care. The Senate must vote "NO" on his nomination to lead HHS. 🔗 See our full statement here : https://bit.ly/4jGOLtp

In 2023, we launched the Home Ownership Means Equity (HOME) Initiative with the goal of adding 4 million new Latino homeowners by 2030. To make this happen, we partnered with Urban Institute to conduct critical research. At our recent event, we presented initial findings that highlight the challenges, opportunities and actionable solutions to close the homeownership gap. Check out the presentations and keep an eye out for the full research papers which will be published later this year. https://bit.ly/4hnajK6 #UnidosUS

As the new Congress gathered this month, we launched Prosperity for All: The Latino Policy Resource for the 119th Congress. This comprehensive resource outlines key policy issues impacting Hispanic communities and solutions for Congress to drive meaningful change. We will continue to protect, defend, and advance opportunities for Latinos and ensure that the concerns they voted on — including cost of living issues such as inflation, housing prices, the need for better paying jobs and access to health care — are addressed by the new Congress. https://bit.ly/42E3zCT

HHS needs a leader who protects health, not undermines it. RFK Jr.'s views on vaccines and his inadequate understanding of public health put millions at risk. We call on Senators to vote NO on his nomination. Full statement: https://bit.ly/3Elyslr
