Protect Immigrants in #First100Days

We’re encouraged by President Biden’s executive orders that will immediately end funding for the border wall and the Muslim travel bans. But there’s still more work to be done to dismantle the terrible policies that the former administration enacted over the past four years.

#DignidadLiteraria

#DignidadLiteraria is a network of committed Latinx writers and culture-makers who believe in the social and political power of wholly authentic Latinx voices and that it is the duty of the publishing industry to use its full power and privilege to combat the invisibility of Latinx authors, editors and executives in the U.S. publishing industry.

TAKE ACTION
