United for Progress: LULAC Vision for a Stronger Latino Future

LULAC
Hello,

As the oldest Latino civil rights organization in the nation, LULAC stands firmly committed to uplifting and empowering the Latino community across America—working to strengthen economic and educational opportunities and to protect our civil rights.

For nearly a century, LULAC has been here, side by side with the communities we serve, tirelessly working toward a future that fulfills the dreams of our families and honors the sacrifices of those who came before us. Now, as we look to the horizon, we welcome the opportunity to work with President Donald J. Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, all of last night’s elected officials, and the incoming Administration. Together, we are called to build a future that holds space for all our stories, our voices, and our dreams.

LULAC’s journey is not just about one community; it’s about an America where everyone has a fair shot, where the doors of opportunity swing open for all. And that includes immigrants—both U.S.-born and foreign-born—who contribute their strength, culture, and hopes to this nation. Together, we represent a community rooted in diversity and bound by a shared commitment to build a better tomorrow for ourselves and our children.

As we approach our centennial, let’s recommit ourselves to what’s possible when we unite. Let us turn away from division and embrace a vision where every Latino family—where every immigrant striving for a piece of the American dream—feels recognized, valued, and empowered in every corner of this country. Let us show the strength, the resilience, and the heart that our community has brought to America’s story.

We know the road will not always be easy, but together—with our allies, our partners, and leaders from both sides of the aisle—LULAC will continue this fight. Because when we stand together, Latinos have a powerful voice, a voice that echoes through the fabric of our democracy.

Let us move forward with purpose, ready to write the next chapter in our shared American story.And together, let’s show that the contributions of the Latino community and all who come here to build a better life are not only respected but celebrated.

Thank you,
