Background on AFP Action: 

To date this cycle, AFP and AFP Action have reached out to more than 9 million voters — in nearly 650 federal and state races across the country. In close races, one-on-one outreach can be the critical difference. AFP Action’s highly targeted layered approach of doors, phones, mail, and ads is proven to be the most effective way to engage and persuade key voters. Our grassroots teams are out in full force as we head into the final stretch of the campaign this Fall.

Background on The LIBRE Initiative Action  

The LIBRE Initiative Action® is committed to supporting candidates who want to advance freedom-minded policies that promote the wellbeing and self-sufficiency of the Hispanic community and the nation. We believe candidates should stand for eliminating barriers to growth and innovation, trumpet educational achievement, protect the vulnerable, and encourage more participation of Latinos in our economy and communities. We believe that is the way to achieve the American Dream.  

LIBRE Action was created to support those who champion these policies and to build the broad coalitions in Washington D.C. necessary to get them passed. Our vision is to build a movement of millions around policies that lead to a society of mutual benefit-where people succeed by helping others improve their lives and to break the internal and external barriers that prevent people from realizing their potential.
