Research Report: @WeAreUnidosUS & @BMSG studied how—and how often—#Latinos appeared in #racialequity news, both as news creators and as sources. This report covers the findings and recommendations for more complete coverage: https://t.co/uQIGysBSha @UCLALatino@CALEndow
@WeAreUnidosUS@RepJimmyGomez Today marks one year since the introduction of the bill to name the Los Angeles U.S. Courthouse after Felicitas and Gonzalo Méndez. Renaming this courthouse is as a tribute and a powerful symbol of the enduring impact of Latino contributions to US progress. #HHM#LatinoLegacy
A must to advance greater public and policy maker understanding of the history and socio-economic positioning of the nation’s largest and still rapidly growing ethnic minority, promoting equity that would otherwise not exist without this critical data. @WeAreUnidosUS#partnership
Institutions must prioritize DEI to nurture belonging and innovation. At #Changemakers24, participants hear from a panel addressing legal threats to these efforts and sharing strategies for safeguarding and advancing DEI in both corporate and educational realms.
Looking forward to sharing the main findings and recommendations from our collaborative research with @JHUeducation at #ALAS2023 the meantime, you may find the complete report here: https://t.co/8wPtxzpewK
Our public institutions should reflect the rich diversity that represents the history and strength of our nation. The Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez United States Courthouse would be the first federal building to be named for a Latina and only the eighth commemorating Latinos.

87% of key Latino topics are either not covered in U.S. history textbooks or are mentioned in just five or fewer sentences, according to a new study by Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy and UnidosUS. https://t.co/u4F7mPOdC3
I couldn't agree more with my colleague @collazophilly: @VP Kamala Harris' address at @WeAreUnidosUS Conference was certainly a strong sign of this administration's efforts to reach #Latino#voters. #Latinos want to be engaged & hear a vision for the future from both parties.
Inspiring discussion on how to forge a strong #civilsociety—where #communities and individuals have a greater say, influence, and agency. #Latinos, as active participants and defenders of #democracy, have great potential to be a stabilizing force in the country’s politics.
W/projections indicating that 78% of new #workers in the next decade will be #Hispanic, this session discussed great strategies to ensure the #inclusion of #Latinos in the #workerpower movement & diversify the pipeline for high-paying #jobs. Let's shape the future of #work!

Inspired by the research & policies for #Latino#economicdevelopment & #wealthbuilding, shared at the @USTreasury’s 1st "Investing in the Economic Future of Latino Communities" summit. Looking forward to learning about these innovative policies & the impact that they will have.
Today, as part of the first summit on investing in the economic future of the Latino community, the Treasury Department released a new fact sheet detailing actions the Department has taken and their impact on Latino households, businesses, and communities. https://t.co/K5rxZZLYcK
Thank you, @BrookingsGov. It is our hope that our findings on Latino-focused content in high school history books help to accurately convey the role that #Latinos have played, & continue to play, in our national story. @APUSH_Teacher@BernerEd@JHUEdPolicy@CCSSO @AnikaFreeindeed
"Current Latino-focused content in history and social studies textbooks falls far short of what should be required in a country where the proportion of the Hispanic population is expected to grow to 29% by 2050." - @BernerEd and @vivilopezgreen
