Advocacy starts here — and it starts with our own. 🌟

We are so proud of our very own LULAC IL 5238 Board Member Sofia Gonzalez for bringing the power of advocacy straight to the students of Morton East High School!

Sofia — Fulbright Scholar, Speaker, Education Activist, and Educator Advisory Council Fellow with Advance Illinois— connected her students with Advance Illinois associates Isabel and Maty, who led a hands-on advocacy training to prepare them for Advocacy Day in Springfield, IL.

These students aren't just learning about advocacy — they're heading to the state capital to fight for something real: $550 million in evidence-based funding for education. Because our kids deserve fully resourced schools, and that fight starts now. 💪

Thank you to Sofia, Isabel, Maty, and the entire Advance Illinois team for investing in our students and our community.

This is what research-driven, community-rooted advocacy looks like in action!

LULAC Council #5238 at the Protest ✊🏽

On October 18th, Board Member Raul Sanchez and Council Member Dani Sanchez proudly represented LULAC 5238 at the protest in Oak Park, IL — holding up our LULAC signs among an estimated 4,000–6,000 people standing for democracy and freedom.

🗣️ Raul Sanchez: “I think our country is moving in the wrong direction. This isn’t a left or right moment. It’s a right or wrong moment. I am protesting to protect our democracy and the rule of law.”

🗣️ Dani Sanchez: “It is my civic right to stand up for America. We are fighting for our constitution and freedom of speech. No Kings In America.”
