Want to celebrate Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month? Here are some ideas:

• Donate to a Latinx-led organization. Here is a list of our members, all Latinx-led and governed.

• Love our food? Visit a Latinx-owned restaurant

• Support a Latinx-owned business

• Hire a Latinx worker for that job

• Support one of our Latinx organized events in our calendar!

• If you are an employer, pay a fair wage and provide a safe working environment.

• Tip well a Latinx worker for that job

• Register to vote, submit a testimonial asking for FAIR MAPS in Georgia, make sure you request your absentee ballot

• Call your Senators and ask them to support comprehensive immigration reform. In Georgia 1 in 3 Latinos knows or loves someone undocumented.

• Get vaccinated! Protect yourself and protect those who you love!
