Our Impact

  • Mobilized more than 750 Latino church leaders and pastors to the Florida State Capitol since 2022, strengthening a prophetic voice on issues that impact people’s daily lives and the future of our communities from immigration to criminal justice.

  • Equipped hundreds of pastors and lay leaders through our Leadership Development for Community Transformation program, regional events, and statewide convening.

  • Amplified faith-based prophetic advocacy nationwide with annual public policy reports, pilgrimages to historic civil rights sites, and media coverage in outlets such as the Tampa Bay Times, Christianity Today, and The Washington Post.

The Need

  • 62.5 million Latinos live in the U.S. — a powerful voice for change.

  • 11 million undocumented immigrants live in fear of family separation.

  • In 45 states an estimated 69,300 non-U.S. citizens were held in public and private state prisons (as of December 2017).

  • Over 13 million U.S. children struggle with hunger.

  • In Florida, black adults are about 17 % of the state population but make up 47–48 % of the prison population → nearly 3× overrepresented.

  • About 10–12 million Latinos nationwide lack health insurance

  • In 2023, Florida had about 2.5 million uninsured and is estimated that 1.2 million Latino individuals in Florida are currently uninsured
