Texas

Job Description

Rooted in the Hispanic community, The LIBRE Initiative brings people together to advance public policy solutions that create the freedom and opportunity that people need to chase their American Dream.  LIBRE empowers our communities by fixing our broken immigration system, encouraging affordable and flexible healthcare options, building an individualized education system, and promoting a robust economy that helps everyone succeed. 

The LIBRE Initiative is a part of Americans for Prosperity and the Stand Together philanthropic community. 

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.

You’re passionate about equipping Hispanic communities in Texas with the tools they need for each individual to reach their full potential and achieve the American Dream. You appreciate the impact good public policy and effective government can have on all Americans.
