Latino Network Action Fund’s foundation comes from the ever growing need to reshape Oregon’s frame of community representation. As a community-led organization, we are made up of fearless leaders constantly fighting against the anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric.
Our leaders are prepared to hold Oregon to its promise of supporting and welcoming immigrants by championing those that truly represent the interest of our community and of others that are currently and historically underrepresented.
Whether it is at Oregon’s state capitol or city and county halls, inside the classroom, outside our courthouses, or strengthening Oregon’s sanctuary promise – we strive to take lead from our Black Immigrants, Indigenous leaders, and immigrants of color to create a better Oregon.
– We take lessons from those who have paved the way of success and leadership from our community’s youth;
– We create an environment that welcomes community members where they’re at and provide the tools to educate and activate for a more inclusive movement;
– Nothing about us without us – we push for community representation in spaces that historically have pushed us out.
– We are not alone in the struggle! – Black immigrants and immigrants of color will be centered in the work we do and recognize the intersections with other currently and historically underserved communities.
