![]() As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I am reminded of the power of his vision. This vision continues to guide us in our work today. Dr. King's dream of equality, justice, and a "Beloved Community" resonates deeply with our shared mission at LULAC. His strong commitment to nonviolence as a force for change reminds us that unity, courage, and action make progress possible. This year, we find ourselves at a historic crossroads. The path ahead is uncertain, and challenges are many for the Latino communities we serve across the United States and Puerto Rico. Yet, I want to assure you that our sense of purpose has never been stronger. We are not merely observing the changes around us; we are preparing and taking deliberate action to confront them with clarity and determination. In the spirit of Dr. King's teachings, our strategic focus this year is embodied in the theme: "Mission Possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy in the Spirit of Nonviolence."This guiding principle underscores the importance of safeguarding the fundamental rights that Dr. King so passionately championed. It also serves as a call to action for each of us. LULAC is moving forward with a multifaceted strategy to empower and protect our communities. One significant effort is our robust "Know Your Rights" campaign, developed in partnership with a coalition of like-minded organizations. This initiative provides critical knowledge to our communities about their rights when interacting with law enforcement, ICE, or Homeland Security. Empowering our families with this information enables them to navigate challenging situations safely. LULAC: LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS.
