Civic Engagement and Civil Rights Advocacy

LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) Houston trains Latino leaders and fights for our community's civil rights. Since 1929, LULAC has been the nation's oldest Latino civil rights group. In Houston, where 45% of residents are Latino, LULAC builds civic power through voter registration, leadership training, and advocacy.

Our programs teach community organizing skills, help residents understand local government, and prepare emerging leaders to run for office or serve on boards. LULAC advocates for fair representation in city council districts, equal access to city services, and policies that help Latino families thrive. We organize neighborhood meetings, host candidate forums, and mobilize voters during elections.

When Houston's Latino community participates in civic life, our whole city benefits from diverse perspectives and stronger democracy. LULAC connects residents to citizenship classes, helps navigate government services, and provides scholarships for students. We work on issues like education equity, healthcare access, and economic opportunity that affect Latino families across all Houston neighborhoods - from Gulfton to the East End to Spring Branch.
