John,
Happy Latinx Heritage Month🎉
As a Latina, I am so proud to work alongside other badass Latinx staff and organizers in the Alliance Network. This month, we have celebrated the Latinx youth who power our work from organizers at our network organizations to our very own Executive Director, Sarah Audelo. They all show us that when we bring our full selves to our organizing work, including our culture and heritage, we build a better world for us all.
Last week, we featured three Latinx organizers from the Alliance Network:
- Rita Carmona from Chicago Votes
- Brandi Hernandez from Leaders Igniting Transformation
- Victória Sandoval from MOVE Texas

Thought Leadership from Sarah Audelo |
For the past four years, the Alliance for Youth Action has been led by our fearless Latina leader, Sarah Audelo. This fall, she is transitioning out of her role to make way for a new generation of leaders. Before she goes, however, Sarah has some parting thoughts and wisdom about challenges ahead for youth organizing, the need to invest in youth-led organizations year-round, and how organizations can set up Executive Directors of color for success. Here are a few articles and interviews we highly recommend checking out:
