New Design Funded by Verizon Foundation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Wednesday, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the nation’s largest and oldest Latino civil rights organization, launched its newly redesigned website, funded by the generous contributions of the Verizon Foundation.
“The new website allows us to maximize our efforts to support the community by offering user-friendly tools and robust resources,” said Brent Wilkes, LULAC National CEO. “It will serve as a one-stop-shop for news and information on critical issues impacting Latinos across the country, allowing people to better respond and mobilize against attacks on the community.”
With millennials making up nearly half of eligible Latinos voters, the new design and features allow LULAC to more effectively engage with the growing demographic of young tech-savvy Latinos. It will be updated regularly with current news, events, and resources to keep pace with the 24-hour news cycle.
“Our support for the redesigned and mobile-friendly LULAC website, in addition to the development of the their engagement app Oportunidad, continues to demonstrate Verizon’s long-standing commitment to leveraging technology to address real world concerns,” said Emilio Gonzalez, Executive Director of Strategic Alliances, Verizon.
LULAC’s new website showcases the organization’s dedication to social justice and helps ensure audiences are well informed on legislation that will impact the future of our nation. Visitors are encouraged to explore the new features and sign up for news updates at www.LULAC.com.
