Our Mission
To promote access, adoption and the full utilization of technology and telecommunications resources by the Hispanic community in the United States through advocacy and by serving as a national voice for Hispanics/Latinos on issues related to technology and telecommunications policy.
First formed in 1996, to ensure that the voices of U.S. Latinos were fully represented in policy discussions surrounding the Digital Divide, HTTP believes even more strongly today that Latino voices need to be raised and that policy makers must work to address the concerns of Latinos and other historically underrepresented communities.
HTTP is comprised of 17 of the nation’s leading and most respected Hispanic nonprofit organizations. Members share the belief that equitable access to technology and telecommunications is a critical factor in the social, political, and economic advancement of Hispanics/Latinos and other underserved communities.
Policy makers can rely on HTTP to provide insight into how telecommunications and technology policy changes impact the Latino community and act as a resource to help ensure the adoption of sound public policy that reduces racial and economic inequalities.
HTTP works to build the capacity of local and national community-based nonprofits as well as strengthen networks with peer institutions, civic leaders, elected officials and other stakeholders to shape technology and telecommunication policies that directly impact the Hispanic/Latino community nationwide.
