ABOUT US
Jolt is the largest Latino progressive organization in Texas, focused on building the political power and influence of young Latinos.
What We Do
Jolt gives Latinos the power to make change, so we can have a say in how Texas is run. There are almost 11 million Latinos in Texas. Together, we have the power to transform our state. Join us!
Jolt brings together Latinos from across Texas to win on the issues that matter. Jolt doesn’t stand for any one party or politician — it stands for the Latino community, families, and parents who worked hard to give their children everything they didn’t have.
Here’s how we do it
Jolt organizes our community to determine what happens on school boards, at the Governor’s mansion and all the way to Congress to make sure our government works best for ordinary people. We accomplish this through:
Telling our stories
Jolt brings artists and musicians together to lift up issues and voices in the Latino community, and share stories of how everyday people in the community are coming together to build a stronger democracy.
Voter Engagement
Jolt members endorse candidates up and down the ballot to determine who gets elected, and conduct year-round issue advocacy to engage voters on the issues that matter most to them.
Leadership development
Jolt’s leadership institute provides training to Latino youth on public speaking, advocacy, digital organizing and mobilization so that they can be effective leaders for their community.
Community and student organizing
Jolt helps young people form student chapters at high schools and college campuses to organize around the issues that matter to them and to register their peers to vote.
