Get educated, get involved and be a part of the solution
We can shape new narrative about Latin American immigrants in the US.
If we educate elected officials and the general public about the systemic causes that force thousands of people to flee their countries of origin, we can help drive better policies.
As Latin American immigrants in the US, we seek to improve living conditions for the most vulnerable population in our countries of origin.
