Strategic Director - job 1 of 2

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.
