Together, we operate one of the largest Latino civic engagement infrastructures in the country, with programs across eight states (Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida) and Washington, D.C.
Position Overview:
Mi Familia Vota is seeking a passionate and experienced Immigration Organizer committed to building power with immigrant communities and communities of color and advancing racial and economic justice campaigns that create real change in our schools, neighborhoods, and civic life.
