For Alianza Americas, Leadership Development is critical to our mission and vision of creating a more equitable and sustainable world for Latin American and Caribbean immigrants. Our leadership programs have taken many forms over the years, evolving in response to the changing political landscape, new generations of immigrant leaders, and the needs of our communities. In its original form, the leadership program was a series of workshops that were brought directly to our member organizations in their respective states and communities, consisting of skill building in the areas of critical thinking, media training, advocacy, and develop an understanding of a transnational perspective.

As we close our Tax Awareness Month, it is timely to reflect on how federally funded programs not only provide well-being to families in difficult situations but also create opportunities for our communities to thrive.

On this #TaxDay, we raise our voices for a fiscal system that invests in care, not punishment.

Alianza Americas strongly condemns Trump's attempts to dismantle the Department of Education, a key institution in protecting the right to a quality education for all students in America.
