There will be two panels at this in-person public event

• 9:00 a.m. The Way Forward in Latin America. In this first panel, we will explore the way forward in Latin America, considering the multiple challenges facing the region. We will include a historical perspective and consider the impact of inequities, violence, and failed economic “recipes,” democracy and the rule of law, the realities of Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples, and migration in Latin America and the Caribbean. There will be time for questions after the panel presentation.

• 11:00 a.m. Dreams and Aspirations of Latinos In this second panel, we will discuss the aspirations and dreams of people of Latin American origin in the United States to invite you to reimagine how to build and strengthen their political and economic presence and power, their leadership, the inequities they face, the culture and power of the masses; and immigration policy. We will have time for questions after the panel presentation.
