We applaud President Joe Biden's decision to reverse the Trump administration's policy of excluding undocumented immigrants from the #2020Census count for partisan purposes. This EO is consistent with our Constitution. We ALL count, regardless of immigration status. #HagaseContar #HazmeContar #HazteContar

The work on this directive will divert staff resources from the Bureau’s work on the Constitutionally mandated apportionment data at a time the Bureau is attempting to manage the transition in administrations, and address on-going challenges related to COVID-19. Another last-minute effort by the Trump Administration to further undermine and politicize Census 2020. #HagaseContar #HazmeContar #HazteContar

We congratulate President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on today’s #InaugurationDay as we attempt to move the country beyond a turbulent 2020 and work together to advance our mission of full Latino participation in the American political process. The top priorities identified by the #BidenAdministration disproportionately affect Latinos, and we look forward to working with the administration on these policies including ameliorating the crises created by the #COVID19 pandemic, providing a path to U.S. citizenship, improving the naturalization process, and ensuring the U.S. Census Bureau has the time necessary to produce accurate and fair #Census2020 numbers. We stand ready to work alongside the Biden administration and the 117th Congress to achieve these important goals.

Representation matters. Join Proyecto 20% and members of the Biden-Harris Transition Team as they discuss how to apply for political positions, interpreting the Plum Book and making your resume stand out. #P20 #Proyecto20

Dear #NALEOFamilia: Wishing you and your loved ones peace, health, and happiness this holiday season. We're so grateful to have #NALEOMember, partners, allies, and friends like you! One year ago, our CEO Arturo Vargas shared his vision for 2020 and dubbed it the "Year of Latino Power. NALEO Educational Fund staff spent countless hours preparing national campaigns to ensure a full count of Latinos in the #2020Census with #HagaseContar and promote increased Latino tur...nout in the 2020 election cycle with the #VeYVota campaign, in addition to reimagining the Edward R. Roybal Legacy Celebration and NALEO Annual Conference, the nation’s largest and most prestigious gathering of Latino elected and appointed officials. Then #COVID19 hit. Through it all, our boards and staff demonstrated incredible agility and professional dexterity that allowed NALEO Educational Fund’s work allowing us to realize our goal of 2020 being the Year of Latino Power. In 2020 we witnessed how the #Latino community demonstrated that it is the present and future of America. With your support, we will continue this critical work into 2021 and beyond. Happy holidays and happy new year! - NALEO & NEF Boards & Staff

NALEO congratulates Connecticut Education Commissioner Cardona for his imminent nomination to lead the U.S. Department of Education! The nation will be in good hands with Commissioner Cardona in next Administration, helping us safely reopen our schools while supporting public schools after the pandemic. As we applaud Dr. Cardona’s nomination, we continue to urge the President-elect to ensure that Latinos hold at least five Cabinet-level positions and at least 20 percent of the Administration’s posts. NALEO stands ready to work alongside the next Administration and Congress to secure a safer, healthier, and vibrant future for Latinos and all Americans.
