PRAHD had the honor of hosting community leaders, advocates, and small business owners from across New Jersey for an important conversation about what Latino families need to thrive — including fair wages, stronger worker protections, affordable housing, and more.

The message was clear: Latino communities are already leading and creating change every day. Now more than ever, continued investment, partnership, and action are needed to support that leadership and build stronger communities for future generations.

We would like to thank UnidosUS for the opportunity to host this important conversation, as well as representatives from the offices of Senator Cory Booker , Senator Andy Kim, and Frank Pallone Jr. for joining us. Together, we continue working toward a brighter future for our communities. 💙
