NPQ partnered with Hispanics in Philanthropy to bring forward the voices of Latinx leaders within the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors to share their experiences on a range of economic justice issues that affect Latinx communities. Ana Marie Argilagos, president and CEO of Hispanics in Philanthropy, kicked off the series with “Economic Justice: Lifting Up New Latinx Voices and Leaders.”
Argilagos wrote, “The key is to advance by listening. By taking strategic cues directly from the very people that have navigated the many systems of oppression faced by underserved communities, we move closer to achieving equity. This means centering a diversity of perspectives from within our Latinx communities to develop culturally targeted community programming, leadership and power building, housing, economic, and education security. It also means learning directly from community leaders about the shifting demographics of migrant communities and how policy, climate change, and gender violence have transformed real-time needs. Most importantly, it means supporting a movement of Latinx advocates that challenge us to do better.”
