Consent does not stop at personal boundaries. It extends into the policies and systems that shape daily life.

Unidos MN works to ensure that Minnesota’s Latine communities are not only represented in those systems, but empowered within them. Their focus is civic engagement, leadership development, and long-term political power rooted in dignity rather than fear.

What Unidos MN Does

Unidos MN operates upstream, shaping the conditions that determine whose voices are heard and whose are ignored.

• Civic Education
  Providing accessible information about voting, policy, and civic participation.

• Leadership Development
  Supporting community members in building skills and confidence to engage politically.

• Advocacy & Organizing
  Advancing policies that reflect the lived realities of Latine communities.

Why Political Power Is a Consent Issue

Communities without political power are often subjected to policies they did not choose and cannot easily resist. When people are excluded from decision-making, consent becomes symbolic rather than real.

Unidos MN works to close that gap by helping communities participate fully in the systems that govern them.

Why This Matters for Consent Culture

Consent requires participation and the ability to influence outcomes that affect one’s body, family, and future.

By strengthening civic engagement and collective voice, Unidos MN expands the conditions under which consent and autonomy can exist beyond the individual level.

Grounded in Relationship, Not Optics

Unidos MN’s work is relational and long-term. They invest in people rather than moments, building power that lasts beyond election cycles or news coverage.

That kind of organizing changes what is possible.
