LATA TEAM REPORT:
General Meeting:
It was inspirational, informative, & fun (good food, too). Although it was small, the energy was high. We had good connections, conversations, and ideas to share. We will be working on promoting Latinx Clubs in our schools, especially high schools. Contact us!
Scholarship Reading:
MIL GRACIAS, to all our volunteers. We have another two weeks before we're done and then we will choose the finalists. We should be done on time, but if you can help, let us know.

Defend Black Studies Programs!
As educators, we must assure that Ethnic Studies
is mandated in K-12 education.
Earlier this year, the College Board released changes to its Advanced Placement African American Studies course that rid it of essential texts, scholars, and topics — including the very mention of structural racism.
