WASHINGTON – President Biden and Vice-President Harris have put a bold and progressive agenda at the forefront of their administration in their first year in office, both successfully undoing many of the Trump administration’s previous efforts, and getting America back on track. While we appreciate the social reforms that the administration has succeeded in passing, we are disappointed that some elected officials are blocking further progress that the Latinx community needs. We must and will continue to hold our elected officials accountable.

WASHINGTON - Today, as we honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy as one of our nation's most influential civil rights leaders, Poder Latinx recommits to the work he championed at a time when voting rights for marginalized communities is again in peril. The following statement is attributed to Yadira Sanchez, co-executive director of Poder Latinx.

PHOENIX - As a new legislative session kicks off in the state’s capital, Poder Latinx vows to continue to work at the state and federal level to protect voting access and block all attempts by state and federal legislators who continue subverting the will of the people by not passing voter protection legislation.

Today, President Joe Biden visited Georgia to deliver a speech about his plans to push for action to protect Americans’ right to vote and ensure free and fair elections. This comes at a time when many states are implementing new voting restrictions that suppress Americans’ ability to vote and be heard. For Poder Latinx, an organization that is dedicated to building Latinx political power through year-round civic engagement, the voting rights issue is one of its utmost priorities. As states are taking action to suppress Americans’ right to vote, it is more important than ever for Congress to pass voting rights legislation and safeguard our democracy.
