 "about": "The mission of the Council of Mexican Federations in North America (COFEM) is to empower immigrant communities to be full participants in the social, political, economic, and cultural life of the United States and their home country. We accomplish this work by uniting, strengthening, and expanding our member organizations to better advocate, preserve and share their cultural traditions and help improve the lives of families and friends in their country of origin.\nThe union of organizations within COFEM has contributed to the development of a bi-national agenda that addresses critical matters facing Latino immigrants in the United States and Mexico. Through an extensive planning process, COFEM has defined specific themes, priorities, and needs of greatest impact and interest to the Latino immigrant community in California. As a result of this planning process, COFEM's Coachella office has identified a strategic focus in three main issue areas: higher education, conservation, and immigration reform.\nTestimonials\n\"Having the opportunity to visit these places and knowing they all exist within an hour from my home blows my mind away, show how beautiful and colorful the desert really is\" - Students from the Nuestro Desierto Class\n\"I first became familiar with COFEM over the summer when I had the pleasure of joining them on their trip to the state capitol, and it was one of the most amazing learning experiences I've had.\" -Student in the Youth Advocacy Program.",
