Nick Torres, President of Congreso, and Margaret Barajas, President & CEO of PALO
Andrea Morató-Lara from PALO and Sarah Cortes from Congreso provide instructions regarding the day of advocacy
Constituents from around Pennsylvania gathered at the State Capitol building this morning to begin Statewide Latino Advocacy Day. Nick Torres, President of Congreso, and Margaret Barajas, President and CEO of PALO, opened up Statewide Latino Advocacy discussing the importance of Latinos from across the state coming together to advocate in Harrisburg. Barajas rallied the participants in this historical event. She emphasized the importance of the multiple Latino voices that are here today, and stressed that we are united in the fact that we are ALL Pennsylvanians.
This day is about sharing our concerns and interests with our legislators.
Before closing, Ms. Barajas brought a challenge to the participants. In one year from now, when we reconvene for the second annual Statewide Latino Advocacy Day - each person here must pledge to bring 5 friends, colleagues, or family members to the state capitol.
We are ready to begin the day!!
