Presente.org just launched. It's still hard to tell who is behind it -- there are no affiliations or contacts listed in the "about" section of the new site.
We seek to bring together Latinos of all backgrounds, generations, and regions, with allies from all races. We are from the East, the West, and everywhere in between; we are residents, recent immigrants, and US Citizens. While we are diverse and won't always agree on every issue, we do have a common goals and vision: to build our communities, provide for our families, and enrich the country where we live-all without being denied the basic rights afforded to others. Protecting and promoting those goals are the focus of Presente.
We also recognize that there are numerous organizations doing important work to strengthen Latino communities and advocate for our interests. Our aim is to magnify their efforts, not replace them. We'll build a sustained, national movement that changes the public conversation, holds leaders accountable, and impacts policy, helping community and national organizations be more effective in their efforts.
