AFT NYS Latino Caucus

On World AIDS Day, we honor our loved ones, uplift our communities, and continue the fight against stigma.
In the Latino community, HIV/AIDS has left a deep impact, but so has our strength, resilience, and commitment to caring for one another.

Today, we stand together to promote education, access to care, and compassion because everyone deserves to live healthy, supported, and without judgment.

Unidad, conciencia y esperanza

Today we celebrate the start of Hispanic Heritage Month!

Running from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, this month gives us the opportunity to honor the history and cultural impact of Latinos across our state and nation.

Please join us for this important discussion! We are all responsible for educating our children. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/AFTLCECC2025

Our priority remains empowering Latino voices and educating our youth on the values of education, respect, diversity, and civic responsibility. Voting empowers us to make our voices heard and influence the policies that shape our lives. We stand together in rejecting any rhetoric that seeks to divide us and remain committed to advocating for respect and equity for all members of our community.

Reminder: Join the AFT Latino Caucus as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at Lulu and Teddy’s on Wednesday, October 9th starting at 4 pm. This is a free event but registration is required. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/AFTLCHHC2024
