This session brings together voices from across the Latino community to confront the myths that flatten our experiences. Speakers come from different backgrounds, regions, and walks of life, alongside those at the intersection of identities too often targeted, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, undocumented communities, and Black communities. The challenge in building solidarity is simple: we fail to see our struggle in the struggle of others until it reaches our own doorstep. LULAC’s 97-year history makes the lesson clear. The goal here is direct: replace assumption with truth, stereotype with reality, and use that clarity to build stronger, more honest coalitions in 2026 and beyond.
