NAHJ South Florida's Annual Charity Mixer

On Thursday, December 13 - the NAHJ South Florida chapter held its annual charity mixer at the Cafeina Wynwood Lounge.

In collaboration with Strong Women Strong Girls (SWSG), the NAHJ South Florida chapter collected new and gently used children’s books for ages 8-10 in Spanish and English.

Books were donated to South Florida school libraries in need.



There was great local Latin jazz.

It was a great opportunity to thank members who have supported NAHJ for years as well as welcome new members to our great association.

A very special thanks to chapter president Pia Malbran and the board for organizing the event!

El camino a la Casa Blanca es a traves de 'El Barrio'

El 6 de noviembre es el momento para que el gigante durmiente se despierte.

 

Se espera que más de 12.2 millones de votantes latinos voten el día de elecciones, de acuerdo con el fondo educativo de la National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials del Fondo de Educación (NALEO), por sus siglas en inglés.

Es un número impresionante hasta que ud. lo pone al lado de otro de igual importancia: 10 millones. Ese es el número aproximado de latinos que no votará el martes. 

 

¿Qué beneficio les hace a los latinos ser una fuerza de más de 50 millones (de acuerdo con el Bureau del Censo de Estados Unidos) si los cerca de 24 millones de ciudadanos que están en edad para votar no “ejercen su derecho al voto”?
