At New American Leaders (NAL), we believe our democracy is stronger when everyone participates. We work with the best and brightest from African, Arab, Asian Pacific Islander, Latino and Caribbean American communities to transform them into effective candidates and the inspiring leaders their communities need. From City Council to Congress, NAL is creating and working alongside the rising stars of American politics.
