Advancing Latino Knowledge & Narrative

Strategic Communications & Learning Consultant

Context:

The Racial Equity Initiative is a strategic line of work within UnidosUS -the largest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S.- dedicated to advancing Latino knowledge production and ensuring its sustained presence in the national narrative. The initiative works across research, culture, education, and community collaboration to elevate Latino voices, broaden access to knowledge creation, and embed Latino experience as central -not peripheral- to America’s cultural and intellectual fabric.

The initiative strengthens cross-sector understanding of Latino knowledge as a systemic asset, advancing a future where Latino experience and expertise shape national scholarship, policy, and public dialogue.
