As the first 100 days of Trump’s second term deliver an onslaught of chaos, divisive policies, and threats targeting Latino and immigrant communities, we know the stakes couldn’t be higher. But we are not starting from zero.

This forward-looking convening will bring together LA’s leading Latino voices to discuss how we build lasting power and resilience in key areas—immigration, education, economic development, and community infrastructure. Together, we’ll move beyond defense, shifting to a proactive strategy that strengthens Latino leadership and serves as a national model for empowerment and resistance.

Our panel will examine both immediate countermeasures and long-term strategies to not only mitigate harm but advance a bold vision for Latino communities in Los Angeles, California, and across the country.
