Congressman Grijalva was a relentless champion for #Latinos- standing firm in the face of hostility & exclusion. His unwavering commitment & fearless leadership not only transformed millions of lives across the country but also inspired new gens of advocates to continue the work.
Humbled by @AvanzaLatino recognition. Pa’lante familia! 🙌🏾🫶🏽

The Trump administration’s push to cut federal funding and dismantle the Department of Education puts millions of students at risk. Tomorrow, we’re taking action & demanding that lawmakers protect our schools, not gut them. #ProtectOurKids youtu.be/zuNS0W8Luqg
That’s my quarterback! Congrats to our @eagles @JalenHurts for representing our dear city with excellence, class and style! #SuperBowl #Eagles

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it clear that his leadership at #HHS would pose a grave and unacceptable threat to the health of all Americans and the recent health gains made in the #Latino community.
We urge senators to vote ‘no’ on his nomination.

We’re with @artieblancosays for Vice Chair of the DNC because she understands the importance of year-round organizing, showing up and listening to diverse and working-class voters. #Artie4DNC
To win we got to listen to more folks outside of DC, rethink how we deliver our message, and share it authentically.
I am running for DNC Vice Chair to ensure we’re organizing every day, everywhere, and delivering our message in ways that resonate.

During my reporting last year of Latino Trump supporters, a lot of them told me that a new Trump admin wouldn't go after those under parole protection, it was only "the criminals."
They were wrong.
Kudos @cpipr @MCollazo215 for work to shine spotlight on health disparities impacting Puerto Rican diaspora. Pop looks great on cover photo!
Thanks to @cpipr for their work on #Philly's 🇵🇷 community and health disparities. That's my Dad on the cover. I am quoted as well as @AdrianRiveraPhD, @CharitoGuaja and others. RIP Mom, who spent much of her career helping people access services:

Things are going great for Trump's AG pick
ALT Senator Alex Padilla sits at a desk and asks, "Do you believe birthright citizenship is the law of the land, and will you defend it?" Pam Bondi responds, "I will study birthright citizenship." Padilla responds, "You're asking to be considered for Attorney General and you still need to study the 14th Amendment?"

The Laken Riley Act, would allow local authorities to indefinitely detain ANYONE they suspect of being a immigrant with a misdemeanor. Detaining people indefinitely erodes the rights of EVERYONE and would be a racial profiling nightmare in practice. youtube.com/watch?v=nrQMyACo…

The CIA monitored #Latino civil rights activists fighting for justice, framing their work as a "threat." Brilliant story by @RussContreras confirming long-held suspicions: the fight for equality was distorted by the CIA to control the narrative & power.

This is a story that deserves more attention in English-language US media right now. #PuertoRico
This is the donation site for the Bar Marea & Artes Juavia businesses that were burnt down by an alleged arsonist American tourist. It's a tragic story. #CaboRojo #PuertoRico

A Missouri woman accused of setting fire to a beloved tourist spot in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico has been suspended by her employer after the employer was contacted by Saint Louis alderwoman @VDanielaV, who is Puerto Rican. The alderman asked the employer to ensure accountability.
