This year, we crossed a powerful milestone: more than 2,000 leaders trained since our founding in 2010. As anti-immigrant rhetoric grows louder, so does the urgency of our work. Communities are calling for leaders who reflect their values and experiences, and NALpistas are stepping forward to answer that call. We’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the fight for an inclusive democracy.
And in 2025 alone, here’s who makes up our newest changemakers:
218 leaders trained across 22 states + D.C. 📍
52% born outside the U.S. 🌎
67% women + non-binary 👩🏽
24% LGBTQIA+ 🏳️🌈
These numbers, and the people behind them, are proof that a new generation of leaders is rising.
