Christians Engaged, a Christian educational foundation, has announced a three-year strategic voter mobilization partnership with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), one of the nation’s largest Hispanic Christian networks. The partnership, led by Christians Engaged founder Bunni Pounds and NHCLC president Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, aims to bridge language and cultural gaps while empowering Hispanic believers to pray, vote, and engage in their communities as the 2026 primaries and general election approach.
Why it matters
Recent research indicates that Hispanics account for nearly 50% of the growth in eligible U.S. voters in recent years and are significantly younger than the broader electorate, yet voter turnout remains comparatively low. This partnership seeks to address this gap by equipping and mobilizing Hispanic Christians to participate in the democratic process.
The details
The partnership will include the launch of a Spanish-language website, Cristianosinvolucrados.org, and the provision of Spanish-language voter education materials such as a Biblical Roadmap to the Party Platforms and school board election guides. Christians Engaged will also work to recruit Spanish-speaking Christians in all 50 states into its national Get Out The Vote (GOTV) database.
- In February 2026, Christians Engaged expanded its Hispanic and Latino outreach initiatives.
- In December, Christians Engaged surpassed a major milestone of engaging more than one million Americans across all 50 states through its voter mobilization system.
