Join The CasaBlanca Project Today

The CasaBlanca Project is the first national program to recruit Latino Democratic organizers and volunteers throughout the entire country to reach out to disengaged members of the Latino community to support their preferred Democratic presidential campaign

These volunteers and organizers, using their own cultural background, will bridge the gap that in the past has prevented political parties from engaging a community that has traditionally been underrepresented in elective office and presidential campaigns.

The CasaBlanca Project has attempted to recruit Latino volunteers and organizers for the 2008 Democratic presidential primary cycle through two avenues: (1) serving as a resource point where Latinos can get objective data/information for each of the candidates and (2) attracting and capturing volunteers and organizers and guiding them to meaningful roles and assignments within their preferred campaigns.

These individuals have taken over and set up their own independent state organizations to recruit additional Latino organizers for their candidate - in anticipated coordination with the candidate's professional staff in that state.

Our ultimate goal has been for the CasaBlanca Project to become a "home" for and to provide guidance to thousands of volunteers and organizers involved in the 2008 presidential primary cycle so that we can guarantee that the Latino vote results in a Democratic Presidential victory in the general election.

More specifically, the CasaBlanca Project will result in the following:

1. Volunteer loss reduction (transition from primaries to general campaign)
2. Maximize volunteer recruitment
3. Provide high quality training materials for first time volunteers
4. Increase recruitment for Democratic Party non-candidate volunteer initiatives
5. Provide a placement service to the eventual coordinated campaign

Once the Democratic Party's Nominee for President is chosen, all of the volunteers and organizers will become part of the CasaBlanca Project, which will, in turn, assist the nominee in the general election. This will allow for continuity and guarantee that we do not lose their support or energy for the general election.
