It’s almost here!

Latino Unity Day is a day and a half of community, advocacy, and impact. On the first day, participants attend sessions, conducted by advocates and community organizations, on specific issues that are being discussed by the General Assembly. On the second day, we get to hear from members of the IL Legislative Latino Caucus on their priorities and we conduct legislative meetings to help push initiatives before the end of the legislative session.

 If you are member of an advocacy organization, an association, a community-based organization, a state employee, a community leader or an individual that cares about Latino equity and civic engagement, Latino Unity Day is for you! 

Latino Unity Day is growing and so is the cost of hosting the event. For that reason, we are asking for a $25 contribution. Clients of community providers and students can attend for free. If you plan to invite any, please reach out to jmarco-paredes@latinopolicyforum.org to receive a promo code and we will gladly waive the fee for them. 

Yes, the organization has a room block at the Wyndham Springfield City Center. Please use this link  https://bit.ly/4jjDPlr  and enjoy a discounted rate of $119 + 14% taxes room/night. Book ASAP as space is limited.

Unfortunately, the organization of the event does not offer any transportation to Springfield, IL. The Amtrak Train Station in Springfield is walking distance of the Capitol and downtown hotels.
