Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with People First

Hey there creator community,

We are excited to celebrate the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15). This month is a time to honor and recognize the invaluable contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities.

Hispanic Heritage Month holds great importance for many of us at People First. It’s a dedicated time to commemorate heritage and culture, pride and unity, along with the ongoing achievements of Hispanic and Latinx individuals who continue to shape our society.

At People First, we’re committed to promoting diversity and creating spaces where every individual can share their narrative and inspire their communities with their unique perspectives.

One of our most popular and impactful campaigns is the Vote Like a Madre Campaign in partnership with Latino Victory Project. The campaign initiative centered around a promise.

Latinx community members promised their friends and family that they would fight against the climate crisis by spreading awareness and voting for candidates who are committed to supporting climate legislation that protects the environment for generations to come. 

Cat mom Karen joined in on the campaign and called on her Latina friends to join in on her pinky promise to continue the work their mothers started by attempting to make the world a better place for their children by voting. 

Creators such as Karen are vital in uplifting the voice of Latinx community members and increasing Latinx representation in the polls.
