As the chair of the New Jersey Legislative Latino Caucus, Senator Pou is a tireless advocate for the labor rights, healthcare, education, and overall well-being of the state's estimated 1.4 million Hispanics.
Senator Pou also has directly confronted racial bigotry and bias. In 2007, she and former Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo publically challenged a local radio station over their broadcast of offensive, anti-immigrant content. The station eventually capitulated and removed the offensive content.
