our Mission
#PoderQuince is a movement that works to build a culture of voting rooted in the power of quinceañeras and the Latino way of life.
You have the power to build a stronger democracy in Texas and the country. While the demographics alone are not destiny, increasing civic participation of your community through your quinceañera will create a new tradition that many can follow.
Traditionally, while you celebrate the coming of age into womanhood, you also celebrate and honor your family for being at your side. What better way to honor them than by pledging to defend your family and community by voting. We invite you to blaze a new trail and ignite the tradition of honoring your loved ones with the power of civic engagement.
Brown. Beautiful. Unstoppable.

Poder Quince Hosts Successful Voter Registration Drive in Chicago
In its first voter registration drive outside of Texas, Jolt Initiative's Poder Quince team registered a handful of Chicagoans to vote outside the My Quince Dress shop in Little Village, a predominantly Latino neighborhood in Chicago's south side.
Setting up inside the dress shop, the Poder Quince team discussed the importance of the Latinx vote with would-be Quinceaneras as they shopped for dresses, shoes, and other accessories, and talked to them about Jolt Initiative's innovative Poder Quince program.
