Hispanic Strategy Center
NDN's Hispanic Strategy Center has been established to ensure that all Hispanics living in the United States are given a chance to realize the American Dream. The HSC conducts its own research, advocacy and programmatic activities, and works with other progressive movement leaders and institutions to develop their own efforts to reach and involve the fast-growing Hispanic population. It also sponsors a variety of media campaigns through NDN’s affiliate, the NDN Political Fund. The Strategy Center’s effort build on the work of the New Democrat Network’s Hispanic Project, which pioneered a modern way of speaking to Hispanics from 2002-2004.

May 25, 2007A clear national consensus to offer undocumented immigrants legal work status and a path to citizenship has emerged.
