Why say “Latine” instead of “Hispanic”? 💬 Language evolves, and so do the ways we honor identity. The word ‘Hispanic’ often ties us to colonial histories, while 'Latine' reflects a more inclusive, gender-neutral, and culturally diverse term that remedies historical injustices. #LanguageMatters #IdentityMatters

Misinformation spurs extremism and hate, leading to real-world violence. For immigrants and people of color, the consequences can be deadly. Let's commit to standing against Islamophobia and all forms of hate. #EndIslamophobia #StandAgainstHate

These images, recently digitized by The New York Public Library, offer a glimpse into the diverse faces of some 12 million people who passed through the island. From a Guadeloupean woman to an Albanian soldier, each portrait tells a unique story of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of the American dream. 📸 🌍 #ImmigrantStories
