Nurturing Latino Leadership through Political Education

National, state and local elections this year are off the ground and it’s important to think about how to offer support and political education to local Latino leaders. Audé Negrete, Executive Director of the Kansas Latino Community Network, and expert Latino community voter registration mobilizer will share about their work in Kansas and provide strategies for non-partisan civic movement building. The goal of this webinar is to learn about the importance of Latino voter registration, access to data-resources, and how to build a framework for voter registration and political education this year.

Healing & Trangressing Colorism in the Latino Community

In solidarity with the W.K. Kellogg National Day of Racial Healing, join a discussion on healing and transgressing colorism in the Latino community. Our Executive Director, Angela Mictlanxochitl, will share work and insight from elder in spirit world and scholar Dr. Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, testimonios from Tenoch Huerta’s ‘Orgullo Prieto’, and welcomes the stories of reconciliation in your community. Colorism is the prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. Colorism due to systemic injustice and colonial influences has become a behavior within many of our customs in our private and public lives. The goal is this discussion is not too shame but to listen to one another’s experiences and to learn how we can change our behaviors for racial justice and healing in our community.
