Latinas in Tech Greater Philadelphia proudly joined the Walk to Wall Street rally in Philly, part of a groundbreaking 240+ mile journey from Capitol Hill to Wall Street. Led by the HACR - Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR), this walk amplifies the critical importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) in Corporate America—values that are deeply aligned with our mission to connect, support, and empower Latinas in tech. The rally featured inspiring speeches from Lourdes Rosado of LatinoJustice PRLDEF, Darrin W. Anderson, Sr., PhD, MS of the Urban League of Philadelphia, and Cid Wilson of HACR. This journey is more than a physical walk; it’s a powerful movement showing that most Americans stand for DE&I. Together, we push forward for a more inclusive future, ensuring underrepresented voices are heard in every industry. #LatinasInTech #WalkToWallStreet #DEI #DiversityAndInclusion #EmpowerLatinas #TechCommunity #EquityInLeadership #goodthingshappeninphiladelphia

“The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy.”— John Lewis in a 2019 CommonWealth Interview It's important to remember the privilege and honor we have in exercising our right to vote. Voting is not just about deciding who will become president. Choosing not to vote is essentially choosing to give up your civil rights. For anyone living on the margins of society today, abstaining from voting would be a setback to the progress we've made as a community and as a nation. Decide today, to vote! Make sure you are registered and share with a friend.
