“Formación Cívica co-hosted Camp Wellstone’s weekend training program with the Northwest Indian College that provided hands-on, practical training in grassroots politics for citizen activists from the Latino and Native American Community in Whatcom and Skagit County. (2007)”
In the Formación Civic program we work with newly registered Latino and Immigrant voters to provide non-partisan civic education and training on effective ways to participate in our democratic system.
Our points of focus for civic engagement:
- Protecting Civil and Human Rights
- Increasing access to safe and affordable housing
- Sustainable Jobs that Provide Healthy Livelihoods
- Access to Quality Education
- Access to Affordable Health Care
- Fair and Just Immigration Reform
We work to educate our communities to: Vote their needs, priorities and values
