📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’

We’re proud to celebrate the rich heritage and achievements of Hispanic and Latino Washingtonians.

Now is not the time to retreat from our core values in Washington of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now more than ever, we must lean into them.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month.
