Latinas typically make only 54 cents for every dollar made by a white non-Hispanic male. It's time to close the wage gap & provide equal pay for all women. Learn more here: #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras equalpaytoday.org/latina-equ…

Every state should make it easier for U.S. citizens to vote. Yet in Texas elected officials consistently opt to make it harder to cast a ballot. @MALDEF’s Thomas Saenz spoke to @nbcnews about voting rights. maldef.org/ycvm

Double standard? Texas assigns unusual urgency to Democratic county's election mishaps

Civil rights and advocacy groups who have sued the state charging voter suppression say election problems they raise haven't received the same attention.

As senators return today, it’s important that they work to confirm any and all judicial nominees who are awaiting full Senate action without delay. We’ve joined 200+ civil and human rights organizations in urging the Senate to act NOW. #CourtsMatter civilrights.org/2022/11/14/2…

A Senate confirmation of Bradley N. Garcia to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit would be historic & will publicly recognize the importance of Latinos both in the United States and in our legal system. Read @MALDEF's letter: maldef.org/cxdd

The Latino vote makes a difference, @MALDEF pres Thomas Saenz tells reporters in a post-election briefing w/@MiFamiliaVota. But efforts to make voting harder & unfair redistricting in states like Texas means Latinos must keep voting. Watch at 25:56 here: maldef.org/yo9y
