Mission

Mi Familia Vota Education Fund (MFVEF) is a national non-profit organization that unites Latino, immigrant, and allied communities to promote social and economic justice through increased civic participation. We do this by:

Expanding the electorate through direct, sustainable citizenship, voter registration, census education, GOTV and issue organizing in key states;
Forming and supporting key alliances at national, state and local levels to increase civic engagement; providing technical assistance and support to other organizations;
Increasing public support for full civic participation in the Latino communities.

About Us

We envision a future in which the electorate is energized and empowered, and reflective of the growing diversity in the United States. We work with community based, educational, religious, labor, and other organizations that seek to build civically cognizant and active neighborhoods. As a Ya es Hora national partner, Mi Familia Vota is dynamically involved in increasing citizenship, census and Get Out the Vote efforts through the ¡Cuidadania!, ¡Hagase Contar!, and ¡Ve Y Vota! campaigns. Currently, Mi Familia Vota has offices in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and Texas.
