LET’S MAKE HISTORY IN HARRISBURG

 

Call To Action

Pennsylvania’s Latino community is the fastest growing segment of the population, accounting for more than fifty-percent of the state’s population growth in the last two decades. Today, there are more than 1 million Latinos in the state. The PA Latino Convention is the call to action for a data-driven, policy-driven, research-driven agenda in health, education, the economy, social justice, entrepreneurship, leadership development, workforce, equity, inclusion and civic engagement.
