Mi Familia Vota (Spanish for "My Family Votes") is a national Latino voting organization in the United States.[1][2] While known for its voter turnout work, the organization expanded into issues advocacy as well.[3] The organizations says it wants to have more of a two-way dialogue with voters and elected officials.[3] The organization also conducts polling.[4]
The organization is based in Phoenix[2] and has field offices in 10 states.[3]
Activities
Outreach
In 2020, the organization focused its outreach to voters in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.[2]
As of 2024, the organization oversees some of the largest Latino voter mobilization groups in the country.[5] The organization also created its own chatbot that uses AI to have human-sounding bilingual conversations with voters on platforms like WhatsApp.[6]
Lawsuits
Mi Familia Vota led a coalition of civil rights organizations with the US Department of Justice to sue Arizona over a 2022 law passed by its legislature that tried to bar voters who had not provided proof of citizenship when they registered.[7] On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in the case.
