Welcome to Fe y Justicia, Latinx-led non-profit organization.

Our principles are based on Faith, and we strive to bring justice, kindness and compassion to our community throughout Central Minnesota.

​

​We idealized a Central Minnesota where:

• The Latinx community has a strong leadership presence.

• The entire community values ​​the contributions and respects the rights of Latinx folks

• Justice is promoted through community agreements with local sheriffs/police officers, registering voters, providing informational clinics, and organizing/educating the community on issues that matter or affect us.

Our mission is providing training to our members so they become community leaders, in this way the necessary services for the community can be identified and leaders can organize their community to have long-term solutions. Our goal is that members/leaders/volunteers advocate for themselves and others with strength and dignity in the spaces where decisions are made.
