Email from Latino Action Foundation Real change begins at the local level — in neighborhoods, churches, schools, and small businesses.   Hi John,  When people hear “civic participation,” they often think of national conversations.  But real change begins at the local level — in neighborhoods, churches, schools, and small businesses.  That’s why the Latino Action Foundation partners directly with leaders on the ground.  In states like Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, and Georgia, we’re working with trusted community members to help families understand:  How policy decisions affect them Why their participation in local policy matters Where to find accurate, accessible information What opportunities exist to get involved This strategic approach is powerful because it’s relational.  People listen to those they trust.  And as registration numbers show, when Latino communities are informed and engaged, they participate at some of the highest rates in the country.  But the work of equipping, educating, and mobilizing communities requires real resources — especially heading into an important year.  If you believe every community deserves to be informed and empowered, I’m asking you to join us.  👉 Your year-end gift helps us grow and strengthen these grassroots networks.
