Portuguese American Citizens Club

The Portuguese American Citizenship Project was established as a nonpartisan initiative aimed at promoting citizenship, voter registration, and voting within the Portuguese American community. Operating from 1999 to 2016, the Project collaborated with over 52 organizations across five states, including California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.

Throughout its 16 years of operation, the Project achieved significant milestones in civic engagement, though it recognized that political organizing remains an ongoing challenge. This initiative serves as a resource to document lessons learned and provide tools for others committed to fostering civic participation among Portuguese Americans.
