The Poder Portal
Voice+Action=Poder
Welcome to the Poder Portal, a comprehensive (and living) voter resource and civic engagement hub. The word poder carries multiple meanings: action, power and possibility. That’s why we’re taking action and wielding our power into endless possibilities—and we need you!
We know you’re busy taking care of familia, going to school, running businesses, and standing up for our comunidad—so take a deep breath—we’ve got you! Whether you’re voting yourself, or want to ensure that we’re flexing our collective power, you can use our portal to access information and resources you need to use your voice and take action!
In the upcoming Nov. 8 election cycle, 34 Senate seats and all 435 House seats are up for election at a national level, along with critical races up and down the ballot in every state, county, and city across the country. Recently, we’ve seen just how deeply state and local politics can impact our daily lives—sometimes seemingly overnight. Local elections are often decided by small margins and they’re some of the most consequential because they determine who decides how our cities allocate resources for policing, education, public works, libraries, parks and more.
YOU have the power to voice your choice.
