LULAC looks to increase Hispanic democratic participation

One of the student organizations closely following the presidential race is UTD’s Chapter of League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). Founded in 1929, LULAC’s mission has been “to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States.”

International Political Economy and LULAC Parliamentarian Andre Rodriguez, who also heads communications for all regional group chapters, said the biggest issues facing Latinos today are “education, healthcare and immigration. The biggest problem in the past has been not voting. Therefore, the biggest task facing LULAC is registering voters and getting them out to vote.”"*
