Bill > SR537

This resolution recognizes and commends Poder Latinx, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization founded in 2019 that focuses on civic engagement and social justice for the Latino community in Georgia and the United States. The organization has made significant contributions by conducting voter registration and engagement efforts, including registering 3,792 new and updated voters, making 800,155 calls and 145,340 texts to constituents, and knocking on 124,608 doors to encourage civic participation. Poder Latinx addresses barriers to Latino voter participation by providing election information in both English and Spanish, advocating for language accessibility in voting materials, and conducting targeted outreach in Hispanic-majority neighborhoods. The organization also empowers future Latino leaders through programs like the Poderosas Fellowship, which develops leadership skills among young Latinas. The resolution specifically praises Poder Latinx for its commitment to advancing voter registration, education, and participation in the Latino community and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an official copy of the resolution to the organization.
