NCLR Releases its Pro-Latino Voter Guide

NCLR has released its new NCLR Voter Guide to assist Latino voters in the upcoming 2006 election. The NCLR Voter Guide provides an overview of some of the key issues facing the Latino community in areas such as access to health care, civic engagement, education, criminal justice, economic opportunities, immigration, and jobs and the workforce. The guide also outlines what policy positions a candidate or incumbent would need to have to be considered "pro-Hispanic."

"We are a strongly nonpartisan, bipartisan institution which realizes that enacting legislation to improve the lives of this nation's 41 million Latinos cannot be done without the help and support of members of Congress from both sides of the aisle," continued MurguĂ­a. "This guide provides information not only to voters but also to elected officials who are interested in reaching out to our community."

The NCLR Voter Guide is available free of charge on NCLR's website, www.nclr.org.

Voting Rights Act Forum in NYC
PRLDEF and a number of civil rights organizations are co-sponsoring an important event on the federal Voting Rights Act. This forum is set for Wed, March 22.
This event consists of an educational and training workshops to mobilize support for the reauthorization of key provisions of the federal Voting Rights Act, a statute that has meant all the difference in increasing ballot access, equal opportunity at the polls, and removing barriers for US citizen minority voters and candidates (racial and language minorities, and disabled voters).
