Today we check in with Rachel Martinez, the President of the Hispanic Organization for Progress and Education in Wyoming focused on educational resources for the Hispanic community. Ms. Martinez also happens to be the Executive Director of the Wyoming Civic Engagement Network, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing civic participation in marginalized and under-resourced communities while building the voting power necessary to win on issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. The importance of voting in a state dominated by the Code of the West, base-building and the importance of trust-based coalition work, the role of funders, and Latino leadership development — we cover a lot of ground today, so we hope you stick with us and like what you hear!
