About Us
Hispanics Forward is a professional development program committed to bringing more Hispanic voices into the liberty movement. After a few years of working in Washington, D.C., we identified a diversity gap in this space and have sought to bridge that gap ever since. By founding Hispanics Forward, we hope to cultivate the next generation of Hispanic leaders who embrace the principles of free markets and individual liberty.
