LatinoJustice has a long and distinguished history championing unfettered access to the ballot for Puerto Rican, Latino and other voters not fluent in English. Our work has ushered in multi-lingual ballots and voting information, fought discriminatory voter purges and other barriers to voting, and we have served as a watchdog against attempts to dilute Latino, Black and Asian voting power.
