With one million Latinos and growing, Georgia has the unique opportunity to build a thriving community with just and necessary legislation. However, there is a lack of representative data that showcases the needs of Georgia Latinos. GALEO, along with partner organizations including the Latinx Alliance, will fill this gap by conducting a statewide survey called the Puente Survey. “Puente para la gente,” focuses on the bridge between our communities and the people at the Capitol. We are encouraging people to know that there is a clear path between them and a better future.
We are providing various opportunities and levels of engagement to potential partner organizations. We understand that different organizations have different capacities to partner and can support this work for the overall benefit of our community at a smaller level of commitment. Partner organizations can be service organizations, policy, or civic engagement organizations. All of the work being done is strictly nonpartisan. Below is a tier system for groups or individuals to participate on a C3 and C4 level:
