RESEARCH. COMMUNITY. IMPACT.

HACER is the only advocacy-driven, Latino-specific research organization in the Upper Midwest. Founded in 1988, we began to address the lack of information about the Latino community, as well as Latino issues in Minnesota’s public discourse. Since then, HACER has grown and evolved to serve Latinos in Minnesota through research, focus groups, workshops, programs, and more.

Our passion for our work has led us to recognized across several organizations and media sources on the local and state level.   As HACER continues to grow, we’ve been able to expand our methods to reach more community members each day. By working together to spark equitable change in the state of Minnesota, we are hopeful that these changes create a ripple effect in surrounding areas.

HACER engages in partnerships with community members and advocates to inform policy around many issues. If you, or your affiliated organization, is interested in furthering our mission together, please reach out to a member of our team.
