🚀 Your voice belongs in the rooms where decisions are being shaped, and we’re helping make sure it’s represented.
You may remember that our Executive Director, Andrea Freile, Deputy Director, Kiara Aranda, and eight LatinxEd Fellows serve on the Governor’s Advisory Council on Latino Affairs, and they've been diligently working on bringing what they hear and learn in community into the Council’s work and recommendations.
📍As the Council has traveled across the state, including Western North Carolina and most recently Charlotte, we’ve been excited to see even more Fellows, partners, and allies attend meetings and join the conversation, uplifting local priorities, inviting others to participate, and showing what community advocacy looks like in action.
🌱 And that’s the bigger picture: it’s not just about who has a seat at the table, but who we bring into the conversation with us. Seeing you, our community and partners, step into these spaces with us is how we continue building Latine leadership that reaches from our local communities to the statewide level.
