A new decade begins, and the Federation continues its commitment to advocacy as well as providing vital services to the community. We helped form the San Diego Redistricting Coalition to promote a multi-ethnic county district and initiated the formation of a new entity: the Latino Policy Institute of San Diego to conduct analysis, public education and community organizing on major issues of importance to the Latino community.
