Today, we are excited to announce a partnership with TelevisaUnivision in furthering democracy through the launch of a bilingual Election Protection Portal. Open to all US-based TelevisaUnivision employees, the portal offers vetted volunteer opportunities in both English and Spanish, with a focus on protecting voter rights.
“TelevisaUnivision’s Vota Conmigo campaign has already made a significant impact by helping voters register and providing vital voting information. Their ability to reach and serve Spanish-speaking voters—a growing demographic within the U.S.—is incredibly powerful. We are thrilled to leverage our technology to support their team in taking part in this critical work,” said Kristen Sonday, Co-Founder and CEO of Paladin.
Through the portal, volunteers can sign up to serve as Election Judges or Poll Workers and participate in text and letter-writing campaigns to inform voters in key states about ID verification requirements. Election Protection Portals makes it easy for everyone to contribute to the vital task of safeguarding our elections. To set one up for your company, or with any questions or feedback, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Kristen is the Co-Founder and CEO at Paladin. As a first generation-college Princeton graduate, Kristen first witnessed how complicated our judicial system is to navigate while at the U.S. Department of Justice conducting international criminal work in Mexico and Central America. As one of the few Latinos on the team, she saw the immense value of having an advocate with you throughout the legal process, which inspired her to want to build something to increase access for those in diverse communities. After DOJ, she joined the Founding Team of YC-backed Grouper, where she learned how to build a startup from the ground up. In addition to Paladin, Kristen Co-Chairs the Legal Services Corporation’s Emerging Leaders Council and is a partner at LongJump, investing in overlooked founders in the Chicago area.
