Delegations from 75 Community Groups to Participate in NCLR National Advocacy Day

Washington, DC – On March 8-9, 287 Latino advocates from 75 community-based Latino organizations from 31 states and the District of Columbia will be on Capitol Hill to urge their congressional representatives to preserve America’s competitive advantage.

As participants in the National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR) National Advocacy Day, the community representatives will address issues critical to the nation’s more than 40 million Latinos and to maintaining a workforce that is educated, healthy and able to contribute fully to keep our economy strong and growing, including early childhood education, health care, financial literacy, housing, comprehensive immigration reform, voting rights, and youth violence prevention.

The community representatives are available for media interviews and photo opportunities. For more information, please call Marcela Salazar or Diana Tejada at (202) 785-1670.
