Register for the second part in La Alianza’s four-part Conversation Series: Bridging Our Divide! Be sure to register early for the event to receive information about joining the meeting.

We all experience the world differently. As part of the Latinx/Hispanic community, La Alianza wants to address the differences we have as individuals. What are your identities? What are your privileges? Why is it important to have a conversation about this? What are the feelings that come with confronting identity, privilege, social status, education, “machismo”. etc?

Join us for an educational dialogue. We encourage everyone to share how you experienced/observed privilege, and how you identify yourself inside of our community. By highlighting what divides us, we can develop stronger relationships and work together for social justice.

Welcome back, amigxs! We hope everyone had a great first day of the semester. If you're looking for something fun to do THIS FRIDAY (Feb. 5th) at 6:00PM EST look no further!
