A Little Background on the Hispanic Federation

For those who may not be familiar, the Hispanic Federation is a fantastic non-profit that operates right across the United States. Founded in 1990 in New York City, they’ve been doing incredible work to educate the Latino population, tackle public issues, and build support within communities for years. They’ve played a crucial role in raising awareness about important topics, such as the fight against HIV and AIDS, and they’ve successfully secured funding for Latino HIV service providers as part of their commendable efforts.

Not to mention their commitment to participating in elections since 1996 has made a significant impact, empowering communities of color to assert their rights and voice their opinions.

Join the Fun!

So, mark your calendars, grab your friends and family, and join the Get Out The Vote Celebration on October 26! It’s a fantastic opportunity to ensure your voice is heard while enjoying the company of fellow community members. Let’s make this election a momentous occasion!
