Personal capacity. Mi opinión.

In 2024, Latina women in Georgia turned out at 57.3%, basically identical to 2020 — and higher than Latino men (GALEO 2024 Latino Voter Report). In Cobb County, Latina turnout hit 57.3%. In Forsyth, Latino turnout overall reached almost 65% (SaportaReport).

Behind every one of those numbers is a spreadsheet.

A volunteer roster. A door-knocking list. A list of households that received a Spanish-language mailer. A list of churches that hosted a registration table after Sunday mass.

The organizer who built that spreadsheet is rarely on payroll. She is a volunteer with a full-time job and three kids. Her Google Sheets skills came from YouTube videos in English, and from asking her cousin who works in IT.

She deserved a real course. In her language. With examples that look like her work.

That is the DatosLab Spreadsheets course. Lead instructor Irma Torres. Real organizing examples. Google Sheets and Google Forms from the basics to the formulas you actually use — VLOOKUP, IMPORTRANGE, conditional formatting that flags duplicates before you knock the same door twice.

Cinco módulos. En español. Gratis.

Si tomas el curso, lo que pedimos es esto: si te sirvió, regrésale algo al ecosistema. Toma uno de los cursos pagados de DatosLab. O dona. Cualquiera de los dos mantiene el curso de español abierto para la próxima organizadora que llegue.
