A beautiful day. A magical room of latinidad. Ready to support. Ready for action. ❤️
Today, I signed an Executive Order creating our Latino Empowerment Council. There’s so much knowledge, expertise, and lived experience here in this room and together, we’ll take on the challenges facing Massachusetts’ Latino communities and center equity in all that we do.
