Our collective organizations have fought for civil rights and social justice for Latinx and other marginalized groups for decades, including our on-going battle against the colorism and racism in our own community. Part of that fight includes standing with the Black people of this country against racism, hate, police brutality, and systemic oppression. We stand firm in our message: tu lucha es mi lucha. 

 

Today, our organizations refuse to be silent and instead are recommitting to centering antiracism and anti-hate in our collective social impact work. As Dr. King and his closest aides and successors became strong supporters of the United Farm Workers movement and Cesar Chavez, we are standing with the Black community and Black Lives Matter.
