Welcome

Since 1992, the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA) has come together on a quadrennial basis to present a platform on the major issues facing the Latino community and the nation as a whole. This platform is the product of deliberations by 26 of the leading national and regional Hispanic organizations that comprise the diverse membership of the NHLA. The Hispanic community is larger and more diverse than ever, numbering close to 50 million persons and making up over 16% of the combined population of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the United States territories. We continue, as a community, to have common concerns on education, civil rights, immigration, economic empowerment, health, and government accountability.
