About us
We are UnidosUS, the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, formerly known as the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). Our mission is to build a stronger America by creating opportunities for the Latino community. To achieve this, we conduct applied research, policy analysis, and advocacy, providing a Latino perspective in key areas such as civil rights and immigration, education, health, housing & financial empowerment, racial equity, voting & political empowerment, and workforce development. Through #AffiliatesUnidos, our network of affiliated community-based organizations (CBOs), we reach millions of Latinos each year across the United States and Puerto Rico. We provide our Affiliates with capacity-building assistance to improve their work at the state and local level to advance opportunities for individuals and families.

Our Board member, Dr. Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, served as part of the committee for the new report by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine "Ending Unequal Treatment: Strategies to Achieve Equitable Health Care and Optimal Health for All." This report follows the landmark 2003 "Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care." report, which confirmed racial and ethnic health disparities in the US healthcare system. The new findings highlight persistent inequities driven by systemic racism and provide actionable recommendations for achieving equitable healthcare for all. Congratulations to Dr. Guilamo-Ramos and the committee for their crucial work in advancing health equity! https://bit.ly/4eOB2OQ #UnidosUS #HealthEquity
