MI Poder

What MI Poder does

MI Poder is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit political organization headquartered at 1211 Trumbull, Detroit, Michigan, that builds political power and leadership within Michigan's Latino communities. The organization serves the roughly 600,000 Latinos residing in Michigan, including entrepreneurs, workers, students, parents, artists, and community leaders, with explicit geographic focus on Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Kalamazoo.

Its service offerings center on civic engagement and political representation rather than commercial products. Core programs include a Voter Hub that provides election dates, voter registration tools, absentee ballot tracking, polling place information, and voter rights guidance; a multi-language Election Protection Hotline offering real-time voter assistance in English, Spanish, Arabic, and several Asian languages; a Candidate Endorsement Program covering U.S. Congress and Michigan State Senate races; leadership development initiatives that build a pipeline of trained Latino organizers; and grassroots field organizing across four Michigan cities. The organization leverages standard political technology infrastructure — ActBlue for donation processing, EveryAction for volunteer management, NGPVAN for voter pledge collection, and Mailchimp for email outreach — and runs bilingual (English/Spanish) digital channels including its website mi-poder.org, Instagram, and Facebook under the handle @wearemipoder.

MI Poder is funded entirely through donations and charitable contributions and does not charge for its services. Revenue is processed via ActBlue, with no disclosed financial figures, foundation grants, or major donor roster publicly available. The organization operates without a parent company, has no subsidiaries, and maintains a community organizing partnership with the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation, from whose facility its Detroit field team operates.
