From September 15, a day when five Central American nations mark their independence, to October 15, the United States celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month to honor the cultural impact of that 60-million-strong community. The celebration was recognized as National Hispanic Heritage Month when it was legally established in 1988 but is increasingly marked by many in the community as Latinx Heritage Month.
This month also serves as an opportunity to highlight the dedication of activists and citizens in Latin American and Caribbean countries like Guatemala, where Indigenous people led mass mobilizations to ensure the installation of a democratically elected president; and Venezuela, where citizens protested the manipulated July elections in the face of violence and intimidation. To mark the occasion, we interviewed Jacquie Marte, Program Manager on our Latin America and Caribbean programs team, to discuss her experiences working alongside leaders shaping the future of democracy in the region.
