The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is a nonprofit organization based in the United States that focuses on advocating for the rights and opportunities of the Hispanic community. Founded in 1968, it aims to improve the economic, social, and political conditions of Latinos through research, policy analysis, and advocacy. NCLR works on various issues, including education, immigration, and civil rights. In 2017, NCLR rebranded itself as UnidosUS to better reflect its mission of uniting and empowering the Latino community. The organization collaborates with local and national partners to promote policies that benefit Hispanic families and communities across the country.
