Latinos En Spokane
OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to build capacity within Latino immigrant families and support the advancement of Latino community members, leaders, business-owners, and organizations in Spokane, to address the needs of the growing Latino population through inclusive community engagement, connections to local resources, and serve as catalyst for immigrant rights, social, racial, economic and environmental justice for a more equitable Spokane County.
Participate in the Our May DayMarch
Immigrants have always played a large part in May Day and workers' movements. This is something that we should always remember and honor, especially since immigration is now being used as a wedge to divide workers. At this moment, anti-immigrant rhetoric has taken center stage in our political arena and has pitted communities living on the margins against each other, rather than uniting and organizing to build collective power. Labor is one point where, when organized, it can benefit every community. It is in the interest of all to recognize each other as fellow workers and to be in solidarity regardless of nationality or immigration status. Let's continue to honor the true history of May Day and stand with immigrant workers. A labor movement will be incomplete if we only think of workers as those with legal status and exclude immigrants. Workers are workers no matter where they are from. Only by overcoming the divisiveness that is imposed upon us can we make our movement stronger.
