Who We Are
Mi Familia Vota’s mission is to build Latino political power by expanding the electorate, strengthening local infrastructures, and through year-round voter engagement. We are also training the next generation of leaders by opening opportunities through our Youth Development Programs and through our Mi Familia Vota work. We are strategically located in states with some of the highest Latino population counts, but have worked to identify and serve communities where Latino participation in the electoral process is lacking. We advocate year-round on critically important issues that affect our community in the fields of immigration, voting rights, the environment, workers’ rights, education, and health care.
What We Do
Our work in engaging Latino communities and building partnerships is guided by the “7 Patas” or 7 pillars model of community engagement. Under this model, MFV works with schools, local networks of businesses, faith organizations, media outlets, community organizations, local consulates of immigrant-sending countries, and labor unions in order to maximize our reach and impact.
