In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court heard seven challenges to a Texas Congressional redistricting plan.  Only MALDEF’s prevailed.  The New York Times described it as “the most important voting rights case of the decade, rejecting the statewide gerrymandering claim brought by…other plaintiffs while accepting the Voting Rights Act challenge in Southwestern Texas, brought by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.”  The case resulted in new lines drawn for the 23rd Congressional District and a special election (where a MALDEF suit opened the polls early) resulting in the Latino community having the opportunity to elect its candidate of choice to Congress.

~ MALDEF is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, and all donations to MALDEF are tax-deductible.  MALDEF operates from private foundation, corporate and individual support.  It does not accept government funding.
~ Your support means that MALDEF can continue to protect and advance the civil rights of the Latino community.  This past year proved to be a turning point for the Latino community and the country.  From 1968 to the present, MALDEF attorneys and advocates have taken on the battles that are critically necessary for Latinos to have equal rights and dignity.  Our work is needed now more than ever and we are poised to make progress, but only with your help now.  Together we will make the difference. ¡Adelante!  
~ There are 11 set donation level amounts plus a place to indicate a different amount.  Donations types are: Individual Donations; Workplace Giving; Securities; or Planned Giving.  Donations can be one-time or recurring once a month.  You can also indicate if your donation is for the general MALDEF Donation Fund or you can designate it for one of eight different semi-independent MALDEF sponsored projects.
