Latino Network Action Fund is Latina/o led 501(c)4 organization created to advocate for legislation, regulations, and programs that promote the general welfare of the Latinx Community in Oregon.
The Latina/o population is the fastest growing minority group in Oregon and now accounts for 12% of Oregon’s total population. Latines* face many challenges, but the community’s values of strong family connections, culture, language, spirituality and inherent ganas* (values-driven motivation) promote resilience and success.
LNAF develops and advocates for more equitable policy solutions related to education and early childhood programs, immigrant rights, criminal justice reform, climate justice, and democracy reform issues. LNAF prioritizes these issues using a strategic lens grounded in racial equity and community self-determination. Through an integrated voter engagement strategy, LNAF aims to increase representation of Latinx leaders in elected office and will hold elected officials accountable to advancing issues prioritized by our community.
