Her combined experience and expertise will enable Mi Familia Vota Education Fund to build a more robust strategy as we head into our country’s most consequential social and economic renewal period.

Hector Sanchez Barba, CEO and Executive director of Mi Familia Vota, said: We are honored to be joined by Izmira; her critical experience and strategic approach to this work will aid us in continuing to educate and turn out new Latino voters. We lead by example, ensuring we bring down structural barriers that make it harder for Latinas to engage in our most crucial spaces of power.
