ABOUT JOLT Jolt Initiative, 501c3, and Jolt Action, 501c4, believe young Latinos will transform Texas through the power of their vote. Jolt knows that our democracy works best when everyone gets a seat at the table. That's why Jolt builds the leadership capacity of millennial Latinos to mobilize their peers to action. Jolt lifts up the voices of Latino millennials to tell their own stories through creative acts of resistance, like the Migration is Sweet! selfie station, Poderosa mural, and Quinceanera at the Capitol, which collectively reached over 50 million Americans.
Jolt believes that Texas is poised for change, with a growing and disaffected Latino population. Today, 1 in 3 eligible voters in Texas is Latino and projections indicate that by 2030, Latinos will make up the majority of the state's population. But demographics alone aren't destiny. Winning change requires building a homegrown movement and a smart, focused, long-term strategy that can deliver equality and power to those who are most excluded and often first impacted.
Jolt was founded in November 2016 by Cristina Tzintzun, a nationally recognized civil rights leader. Cristina was named "Hero of the New South" by Southern Living Magazine, and her work has been featured on NPR, Vogue, The New York Times, MTV, USA Today, Univision, MSNBC's Up Late with Alec Baldwin, among others. The organization entered a new phase in August 2019, when Ms. Tzintzun Ramirez stepped down to run for U.S. Senate, and Antonio Arellano took over as Interim Executive Director.
