Advocacy Day
Each spring while congressional committees are working on the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, NALCAB members from all over the country convene in Washington, DC for NALCAB’s Annual Congressional Advocacy Day. On this day we advocate for federal policies that make a meaningful difference in the lives of Latinos and LMI communities with particular emphasis on federal appropriations. NALCAB members communicate to members of Congress the importance of robust federal funding to fuel key community and economic development programs that support Latino economic advancement including;
•U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME and SHOP programs
•The U.S. Small Business Administration’s PRIME, Microloan programs and Women’s Business Centers
•The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund
•The Community and Economic Development Program (CED)
Disaster Recovery
•U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Programs

Latinos in the Economy:
Latino communities are essential to a healthy US economy. The overall economic strength of this nation increasingly relies on our fast growing community’s hard work, our entrepreneurial spirit, our enormous spending power and our leadership.
Our work is about giving hard-working people a shot to make it this country. We are strengthening the US economy by investing in our nation’s youngest, fastest growing major demographic segment.
We use the hashtag #LatinoEconomicEngine to highlight data that demonstrates the economic value that Latinos and immigrants bring to this country and strategies that build assets in our communities.
