Latino Equity Network

2015 Latino Equity Agenda

The Washington Latino Equity Network formed in November 2014, after nine Latino non-profit organizations participated in the Washington Latino Nonprofit Leadership Academy, hosted by the Latino Community Fund.  During the Academy, these leaders coalesced around a shared vision of lifting up the voices of Latino communities in Washington State and the need for carrying those voices to policy makers. The members of the Latino Equity Network work with thousands of Latino families in communities across the state, from Olympia to Everett to Spokane. The collective knowledge and experience these leaders bring in working with Latino families is enormous, and informed the six common issues contained in this agenda. In addition to the Academy leaders, the Latino Equity Network surveyed hundreds of community members from each locale about the issues and recommendations that are captured in the agenda.

While the network as a whole collaborated on the completion of the 2015 Latino Equity Agenda, contributing writers to this agenda were: Karlah Tanori, Kate Smith, Carolina Gutierrez, Rosa Venancio, Sophia Beltran, Sandy Restrepo, Catalina Angel, Adrian Olivas, Adie Simmons, and Cathy Liu Scott. Felipe Rodriguez-Flores contributed additional editing and synthesis.

Community Dialogues 2015 - 2016 Report

The Washington Latino Equity Network organized Community Dialogues in five Washington state counties to create a space for dialogue. The wisdom of the community was used to name the issues that affect them; engage in the decision making process and brainstorm practical next steps for social change.

Through these transformative dialogues four common themes emerged: immigration, education, racism and discrimination and criminal justice.

Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center synthesized the data and wrote the report.
