OUR MISSION

The National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL) was founded in 1989 as a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)3.  The organization represents the interests of more than 300 Hispanic state legislators from all states, commonwealths and territories of the United States. 

Our mission is to be catalyst for change and to call attention to the issues that impact Hispanic/Latino communities. 

NHCSL strives to be the most effective voice for Hispanic state legislators and assist in their efforts to design and implement policies that will ensure equal access and opportunity for Hispanic communities.

As the Hispanic/Latino population continues to grow, NHCSL ensures that its membership of more than 300 Hispanic state legislators receive the resources and information to create, develop and implement better and more informed public policy.
