This 20-30 minute keynote during our lunch and learn session is geared to building a clear understanding of why Latino civic engagement matters so much in this moment. The results of 2024 made one thing clear: Latino voters are a decisive force shaping outcomes across the U.S., and that influence will only grow as we head into the 2026 fight. This session focuses on what that means in practice, how participation translates into power, and what it will take to sustain and expand that impact moving forward.
