For Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting iconic voices of our history. Today we highlight Sylvia Rivera, a Puerto Rican-Venezuelan transgender woman, who was a big advocate for Latino & LGBTQ+ rights. Her activism helped pave the way for transgender people of color.

Violent crime in DC is at its lowest level in 30 years. We had an unacceptable spike in 2023, so we changed our laws and strategies. Now, crime levels are not only down from 2023, but from before the pandemic. Our tactics are working, and we aren’t taking our foot off the gas.

The Administration’s actions are unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. There is no crime emergency in the District of Columbia. Violent crime in DC reached historic 30-year lows last year, and is down another 26% so far this year. We are considering all of our options and will do what is necessary to protect the rights and safety of District residents.

#ARRESTED: Seven CASA activists are arrested in Annapolis today as they stand in solidarity with immigrant Marylanders who struggle with their health or who have died from their health conditions. Maryland needs the #Access2Care Act, the first step to granting healthcare access.

It's #InternationalVolunteerDay, a BIG day for LAYC. Without the volunteers who help us immensely each year, we simply wouldn't have the same impact. Thanks to all who have helped us, especially a few who've recently stepped up from @dclulac, @aboutKP, and @washingtongas

Richard Fierro, who stopped the Colorado gunman, was recognized by @LULAC. “The fact that a Latino straight man is not afraid to go to a gay club and drag show and protect patrons ... says he truly represents America and Christianity," says @Domingotexas nbcnews.com/news/latino/hisp…

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we're reminded how #LGBTQ folks need support, advocacy & protection. We mourn 32 #Trans lives taken from us through violent means in 2022 & prayers go out to victims of Colorado Springs Club Q shooting. @LULAC stands with its LGBTQ family.

Great conversation with author & lawyer Dr. Tanya K Hernandez about how racial bias is “caught not taught” when kids see elders act around others outside their community. Kids may not be taught to discriminate, but mimic actions of caregivers. Her book: bit.ly/3pEBI0E
