LULAC Releases Report on Latino Civil Rights vs. Project 2025
=============================================================

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the
Nation’s largest and oldest Latino civil rights volunteer-based organization,
today released a report titled “ The Battle Ahead: Latino Civil Rights vs.
Project 2025 [ [link removed] ] ” outlining ten specific ways in
which Project 2025 negatively impacts Latino civil rights.

The report includes analysis from LULAC Policy and Legislation Fellows Adriana
Varea, Ari Kittrie, and Joaquin Macias and focuses on the following areas of
Project 2025:

* Establishing a Unitary Executive Branch

* Mass Deportations

* Cutting off Legal Immigration

* Making Federal Funding & Benefits Contingent on Immigration Laws

* Criminalization of Reproductive Rights

* Dismantling the U.S. Department of Education

* Social Program Cuts and “Reforms”

* Repealing Vital Protections for Latino-Dominated Industries

* Refocusing Environmental Policy Away from Climate Change

* Ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives

“Project 2025 and its ‘Mandate for Leadership,’ would have a devastating impact
on not only the Latino community but democracy as we know it,” said Roman
Palomares, LULAC National President. “The policy platform put forth in their
report calls for draconian changes in immigration enforcement with policies that
will undoubtedly lead to increased deportations and family separations, with
devastating impacts to Latino families and Latino communities. Additionally,
rolling back civil rights protections will increase illegal discrimination and
undermine legal recourse for Latinos facing individual and systemic
discrimination in this country. LULAC remains steadfast in its commitment to
protect the civil rights of Latinos in the United States, advocate for our place
in American society, and we will continue to fight against discrimination,
segregation, and inequality faced by Latino and other historically marginalized
communities,” Added President Palomares.

In his capacity overseeing the LULAC Fellows who developed the report, Dr. Ray
Serrano, LULAC’s Director of Research and Policy added, “It has been an honor to
shape the next generation of policy and legislation professionals like Adriana,
Ari, and Joaquin through LULAC’s Fellows program. I am confident our country is
in good hands with this next generation of leaders and scholars.”
