    Presente at the NC General Assembly! Thank you, Representative Maria Cervania, for highlighting Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrating the richness of our culture and the invaluable contributions of the Latino community. A big thanks also to Representative Caleb Rudow for meeting with our team to discuss support for Western North Carolina. We’re glad to have been there for the announcement of the approval of House Bill 149! #HB149 #ncstrong #ncpol

    Our President and CEO, Pilar Rocha-Goldberg had the immense honor of attending the White House Hispanic Heritage Month event. It was a privilege to be surrounded by leaders who champion the rich cultural contributions of our community. This day was particularly special for Pilar, as it marked 20 years since her arrival in this country—a milestone celebrated in the People’s House. A heartfelt thank you to President Biden and Dr. Biden for the invitation and for acknowledging the significant impact of Hispanic Americans nationwide. Here’s to celebrating our heritage and continuing to uplift our communities for generations to come!

    Raising our voices against HB10! ✊🏽✊🏽 In partnership with El Colectivo NC, representatives, and allies, we hosted a powerful press event outside the General Assembly. We cannot ignore the profound harm HB10 would cause. This bill not only strips away immigrant rights but also destroys the trust between law enforcement and our communities. We must unite to ensure North Carolina prioritizes justice and equality for all. #StopHB10
