Successful advocacy relies on a deep understanding of the legal or legislative policies that impact our cause. Members of The Latino Cancer Institute are given the opportunity to discuss and dissect, develop and debate policy and positions that can further or hinder our work. We expect our strength in numbers and united voices to hold sway with lawmakers who must answer to the 60 million Latinos in this country. We show up informed and ready to take a seat at the national table to be heard, understood, and ready to take part in any proposed policy that affects our community.
