ACT • PARTICIPATE • VOTE
As part of its mission to reduce poverty and discrimination and improve life opportunities for Hispanics, NCLR believes that increased civic engagement is an essential part of any community empowerment strategy. To that end, the organization has amplified its advocacy activities, adding a state and local dimension to NCLR’s policy analysis and advocacy work, while seeking to strengthen the nonpartisan foundation for increased Latino participation in the political process. The separate but related initiatives that compose this work are the Field Advocacy Project (FAP) and the Latino Empowerment and Advocacy Project (LEAP).

Emerging Latino Communities Initiative
The Emerging Latino Communities Initiative (ELC) is a multi-facetted organization development program that seeks to establish organizational infrastructure in communities that have recently seen a dramatic increase in the Latino population. Primarily, ELC focuses in areas of the country where there is currently little Latino or for Latino sub-group organizational infrastructure. Geographic target areas are the Southeast, Northwest, and Midwest, although exceptions are made.
Field Advocacy Project
NCLR’s public policy expertise at the federal level, which includes a number of key issues also significant at the state level, has provided fertile ground for collaboration with state and local groups engaged in education, health, economic mobility, civil rights, and immigration issues, among others. Through its Field Advocacy Project, NCLR hopes to create greater synergy among advocates working at the local, state, and federal levels, to achieve policy reform in areas of interest to the nation's Latino community.
