What do you think the Governor’s Council on Latino Empowerment should prioritize to support the Latine community? In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting the recently-established Governor’s Council on Latino Empowerment. The council, which consists of over 40 Latine leaders from around the state, will advise Gov. Healey and Lt. Gov. Driscoll on strategies to “expand economic opportunities for and improve the overall wellbeing of Massachusetts’ Latine community.” The governor’s executive order establishing the council acknowledges that “the Massachusetts Latino community represents a growing and multifaceted population that brings traditions, perspectives, and cultures which significantly shape and influence all aspects of the Commonwealth's development and standing.” To learn more about the council members and the council’s work, check out the link in the comment section! #hispanicheritagemonth #latinoleaders #equitablefuture

VISIONARY. Dismantling systems of oppression through advocacy, education, decolonization, culture, intergenerational healing, language, transformative justice, and owning our narratives. #HousingIsAHumanRight
My leadership model has always been to be lead by the most impacted. I always pass the mic to my Latine community, so they may speak about the solutions they need in their communities. I am doing the same in youth justice. One of the biggest challenges in the Latine community and in youth justice is housing. Housing is one of the most fundamental human rights and needs for people to be safe and thrive. I’m excited to say that I’m officially back in housing justice work as a board member of the Tenants Union. Picture from when I was a panelist for: The Power of Organizing: the impacts of organizing in creating policy change, equitable development and anti-displacement strategies.

Clinical Neuropsychologist | Commissioner at Victorian Multicultural Commission | Board Director at Victorian Pride Centre
It's National Reconciliation Week, and now more than ever we need to open (or re-open), and nourish connections between First Nations Peoples and multicultural communities. Roads to Reconciliation: Activating Multicultural Communities are exactly one of the innovative and impactful programs that does this
If a photo can share a thousand words, this photo certainly does that when it comes to describing the extensive work carried out across the pilot year of Roads to Reconciliation: Activating Multicultural Communities. “Now more than ever”, our work in twenty local government areas across Victoria has been needed to bring together multicultural community leaders, with local governments, and First Nations leaders… Our first year on the road was wrapped up with a Community Summit brought to you by the National Centre for Reconciliation, Truth, and Justice and delivered in partnership with Reconciliation Victoria and supported by the First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria. Here’s looking forward to getting support for year 2… Photo: Dr Judy Tang - Commissioner, and Community Fellowship recipient, Commissioner & Deputy Chairperson - Yoorrook Justice Commission - Sue-Anne Hunter, and Darebin City Council - Cr. Emily Dimitriadis.

🗣️ 'Driving Social Impact by Elevating Community Voices,' with Mea Johnson, Rahn Dorsey, Leena Matthew, & Seona Bae. Put some respect on our throat chakras. The ongoing project of social and political freedom doesn't begin or end with getting out the vote. Active and meaningful participation in shaping the decisions, policies, and governance that directly affect us is how we elevate community voice. In this session, we will discuss how to go beyond deep listening to center community leadership in project design and decision-making processes.
