I don’t want to live in an America in which corporate execs make record profits but mothers don’t have enough baby formula.

Mil gracias @Nicolemarie_A for excellent reporting!
More must be done to engage Latinos on issues closest to their heart and pocketbooks.
It’s time to rebuild trust in our democracy! And it needs to start with Latinos. – at Houston, TX
NEW: @LatinoCommFdn’s newest @bspresearch poll shows Latinos have rising cost of living, the economy, and housing top of mind as they head to the polls this November.

Thank you @DoloresHuertaFD @PowerCANow @99_Rootz @SIRENImmiRights @TODEC1 & 100+ Latino-led grassroot orgs who led the charge for #2020Census!
Amidst crisis & heartache these leaders never let up fight to get Latinos counted in #CA!
@LatinoCommFdn proud to be supporting them! – at San Francisco, CA
Today, @uscensusbureau releases information on how many U.S. House members each state gets. But it's a good time to also applaud people who went door-to-door amid a pandemic and those who worked at home to make sure as many Census forms as possible were completed.

Time to heal, organize, & build the post-COVID world of our dreams.

The report is out! Everyone deserves dignity and a guaranteed income can be instrumental in making it so.
🚨 The results are in! Data from the first year of SEED shows how just a small infusion of cash can provide the dignity that everyone deserves. Read our full findings here: bit.ly/SEEDwhitepaper

In Orange County, only 12 percent of the first doses of the vaccine administered have gone to Latinos, even though they make up 45 percent of all registered Covid-19 cases. What will local leaders do to close this gap? @ocregister @OCGovCA

We are so proud of our Latino Nonprofit Accelerator participant @DigiNEST. This week we visited one of their facilities!
They are ensuring our youth are at the forefront of tech innovation—and because of our Accelerator they were able to leverage close to $1M dollars to grow! ❤️

Had an amazing retreat with the @LatinoCommFdn. I have only ever fully introduced my parents to two spaces that I am part of. First one @DigiNEST & now the @LatinoCommFdn. In both spaces, I didn't have to explain who they were and why were there. They were welcomed like family <3
