Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!
September commemorates Hispanic Heritage Month here in America, celebrating the rich diversity of culture, food, and media that Hispanic and Latinx communities bring to our country.
At NDTC, we’re proud to partner with several organizations committed to filling the gap in Hispanic and Latinx representation in elected office and progressive politics. Check a few out below
Latino Victory is the largest organization dedicated to electing Latino progressives at all levels of government.
Pa’lante recruits, trains, and supports Latino individuals in running for office and serving on campaign staff for down-ballot races across Georgia.
Instituto’s mission is to build sustained political power with low-income and communities of color in Arizona, with a focus on Latino candidates and staff.
So You Want to Run for Office: Hispanic Heritage Month Edition
Tuesday, September 19 at 1pm ET
Alongside our partners at Instituto, Latino Victory, and Pa’lante , we welcome Latino and/or Hispanic candidates who have ever considered running for office to join this introductory training session.
Reviewing the types of office one can run for, sharing the news, and beginning to find ways to garner support, this training will take you from thinking about running to having the tools to make it a reality.
Not only that, Secretary Julián Castro will join for a special welcome and introduction!
