New American Leaders Action Fund (NALAF) is building a democracy that represents and includes all people by engaging new voters, supporting New Americans as they run for office, and expanding civic engagement.
We believe that all people should be represented in government. This means training, supporting, and electing leaders who share life experiences and values with their communities to ensure every voice is heard and included in key policy decisions. As new voices to our democracy, their perspectives and hard won participation must be included at every level of government and represented in places of power.

It’s never been more clear: Democracy needs us to run, win, and lead.
Since our launch, New American candidates ran and won in pivotal elections, helping to turn out a historic number of New American and BIPOC voters. Our voices and movement have made progressive victories possible from city councils all the way to the White House. New American Leaders Action Fund endorsed candidates were part of this progressive wave, with a remarkable 65% of endorsed candidates winning their elections! Learn how they ran — and won — all while coordinating COVID-19 relief, organizing actions for racial justice, and empowering immigrant communities and communities of color to make their voices heard in our 2021 Highlights!
Then in our 2022 Case for Support, discover how we are supporting trailblazing BIPOC candidates, pushing for progressive policy platforms at state and national level, and expanding the New American electorate in key states.
