What Poder Latinx does

Poder Latinx is a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan nonprofit founded in 2019 and headquartered at 1800 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, D.C., whose mission is to build political power for the Latinx community so that community members become decision-makers in U.S. democracy and win on economic, immigrant, and environmental issues. The organization runs field organizing programs in seven battleground states — Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington — relying on door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, text banking, in-person community workshops, and local events, with staff hired from the communities they serve. Since inception it reports registering more than 59,000 new voters, knocking on over 177,000 doors, contacting 4.2 million Latinx voters by phone, partnering with 300+ allied organizations, training more than 80 young Latina leaders through its Poderosas Fellowship, and reaching close to 8 million people online.

The organization's programmatic portfolio is diverse rather than centered on a single product. Core offerings include: EcoPoder, a bilingual (English/Spanish) environmental-justice and energy-affordability campaign anchored by an April 2026 digital hub with an interactive energy burden calculator and state-specific resources; the Poderosas Fellowship, a national civic-engagement leadership program for young Latinas ages 18–35 (Cohort VI in 2026 is the first to focus on energy justice and climate leadership); the annual Poderosas Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C. (since 2022) and a regionally distributed Poderosas State Summits model (launched in 2025 across California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas); GOTV voter registration and mobilization; the Arizona-based SRP Voter Engagement Program focused on utility board elections; EcoGOLAZO, a soccer-based civic engagement initiative; El Poder De Tu Salud, a health-education initiative; and Story Collection, a narrative-power platform. Tecnología Méa is a documentary series expanding into climate-impact stories. Technology infrastructure is conventional nonprofit: a Squarespace website integrated with ActBlue for donations, EveryAction/NGPVAN for civic engagement, Mobilize.us and Eventbrite for events, and standard social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube). No proprietary AI or machine-learning capability is in evidence.

Poder Latinx is funded entirely by tax-deductible charitable donations, peer-to-peer contributions through ActBlue, sponsorships for events (e.g., Poderosas Legislative Summit), and unstated grants; no revenue, budget, or donor base figures are publicly disclosed. It is governed as an independent entity with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed venture or private equity backing. The organization is Latina-led, with Executive Director Yadira Sánchez (the founder) and a senior team that includes Florida State Director Carolina Wassmer and Arizona EcoPoder Coordinator Jose Flores. Key partnerships in the past two years include litigation co-counsel relationships with LatinoJustice PRLDEF and Dēmos (successfully blocking Florida HB 1205 in August 2025) and a Climate Action Campaign collaboration on extreme heat convened in Atlanta in May 2026.
