A look back at the LULAC Virtual Summit
Stream now! | This week’s panel highlight: Civil Rights, John Quiñones, and the Latino Vote
The LULAC Virtual Summit was a powerful experience full of many moving conversations about the issues affecting our communities throughout the U.S. Now, these discussions are available for your viewing on-demand when you scroll our full YouTube playlist or visit online at LULAC.org/media/video.
This week we want to highlight three major panels which speak to the importance of alliances and working in coalitions when taking action against social injustices.
Our “Civil Rights and Equity Tu Lucha Es Mi Lucha: Standing Together As Allies” brought together civil rights leaders of national organizations to address police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement, the impact of COVID-19, and other inequalities to major social challenges. In our “What Would You Do?: In a Time of Great Division In America with John Quiñones”, we listen to John’s personal story and how each of us has the power to make a difference. “The Historic Role of Latinos in 2020: A Conversation with Julián Castro” is a session that highlights the significance of the 2020 election as Latinos continue to organize and mobilize to vote.

Community Charla: Mirage
REGISTER | TODAY at 4:00 pm ET
Join us for this special Charla as we discuss the current migrant crisis with Latinx leaders who are at the forefront of this issue.
We will also screen the short 9-minute film "Mirage", a magic realism tale about a girl who spends her time daydreaming and fantasizing in hopes to be reunited with her parents as she is held captive by U.S. border agents. The Director of the film, Luis Roman Quintero, will join us on the panel to talk about the film and the migrant crisis.
This special Charla is a collaboration with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, LULAC, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, Prospanica LA & DC and MALDEF.

The LULAC Federal Training Institute (FTI), The National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers (NCHEPM), Leadership Consultants and several Federal agencies have come together to coordinate and provide training through the 2020 Virtual LULAC Federal Training Institute Partnership “A Month of Development” for Federal employees and the community during these challenging times. All this is free of charge and it’s an opportunity attendees can enjoy thanks to the generosity, collaboration, and in-kind support of all the partners.
Register today at LULAC.org/ftipreg. You can also explore the full list of workshops at LULAC.org/ftip/agenda.
The FTIP participants understand how the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is impacting all activities. This includes access to training and development opportunities for diverse staff and employees. However, now more than ever, we need to continue recruiting, retaining, motivating, and developing a federal workforce reflective of an increasingly diverse nation. Our goal is to provide the tools to help participants lead, aspire to leadership positions and become the leaders of tomorrow. Our success together will be men and women who will understand, be sensitive to and address the needs of diverse communities.

Virtual Congressional Briefing: COVID-19, Health Disparities & the Social Determinants of Health
RSVP today! | Wednesday, September 16
We invite you to join us at our upcoming virtual Congressional Briefing, "COVID-19, Health Disparities and the Social Determinants of Health" on September 16, 2020 from 1-2pm ET. To register for this briefing, please use the following link: www.kidneyfund.org/sdoh.
The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color has made it clear that we, as a nation, must address health disparities. To succeed in those efforts, we need to focus on the socioeconomic status and nonmedical drivers of health, commonly known as the social determinants of health (SDOH). We want to educate Congressional staff and other policymakers about SDOH, explain the impact they have on kidney disease and on communities of color, and describe the steps we can take to begin to address these very complex issues. Join us!
