Last Fall, we hosted a meaningful and thought provoking conversation with Pulitzer-prize Journalist Maria Hinojosa. Given the growing challenges facing our communities—ongoing ICE raids, executive orders, program defunding—we were honored to convene a conversation on how leaders of color and our allies can stand together, support one another, and remain grounded in equity and justice. With the support from our Austin community, we hosted A Fireside Chat with Journalist Maria Hinojosa moderated by Judge Denise Hernandez that provided a much needed conversation for the times we’re living in. It’s 2026 and things are not getting any better and we truly are in unprecedented times of hurt. Still, we want to ensure that we as a community can bring light into the darkness and we can’t do it without you. Mil gracias for being in community with us.
We were able to capture the conversation and it’s up on our Youtube Channel. Look back, dig in and take a deep dive into some of the issues we discussed that are as important in 2026.
