As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the generations of Hispanic and Latinx people across the world and right here in Maryland whose families, cultures, histories, and communities have helped shape the places we call home.
We celebrate the Latinx and Afro-Latinx Marylanders who are building businesses and raising families, teaching and caring for their neighbors, creating art and culture, and contributing every day to the strength and vibrancy of our state. We celebrate communities that have carried traditions across borders and generations while making Maryland their home.Â
At Progressive Maryland, we are especially grateful for the incredible Latinx-led organizations we are proud to work alongside, including CASA In Action, whose steadfast advocacy and dedication to protecting working families continues to strengthen our movement. Their organizing reminds us that when people come together across communities, we can build the power to demand dignity, opportunity, and a government that works for everyone.
But celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month also means recognizing the challenges facing Latino families right now, and recommitting ourselves to fighting back. Across Maryland and the country, immigrant communities are facing fear, separation, and the threat of violence and detention. Families have been torn apart, and communities have been forced to organize and protect one another in the face of ICE enforcement.
We will continue to stand with our immigrant neighbors and show up for our communities under attack. We will continue coming together to demand that we be treated with dignity and that violence in any form is not accepted. We will keep organizing, because our communities deserve better - and because giving up is simply not an option.
SĂ se puede.
In solidarity,
The Progressive Maryland TeamÂ
