As we continue to stand in solidarity with Black Americans in the fight for racial justice, Latinos should reflect on how our diverse racial backgrounds—including indigenous, Afro-Latino, European, mestizo and other identities–can help position us to strengthen our multi-racial, multi-cultural society. This will be a space for a candid conversation on how our values, culture, identity, and histories of struggle are vital resources as we strive to achieve racial justice within our own community and for all Americans.

From this conversation, we want our audience to come away better understanding:

• That a significant proportion of the socioeconomic disparities Latinos experience have roots in structural racism
• Insights on how to address colorism within the Latino community and opportunities to bridge with African Americans and others.
• Data- and values-driven findings that Hispanics support universal solutions to address socioeconomic disparities
