American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez makes its Kansas premiere on June 27, 12pm at the Lawrence Arts Center! Opening remarks will be shared by Neill Esquibel-Kennedy, faculty in American Studies at KU and the Chicanx/Latinx program.

From migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His Zoot Suit was the first Chicano play on Broadway and he went on to make the breakout film, La Bamba.

This was never about fitting in.
It’s about building our own table.
No token seats. 🚫🪑
No watered-down voices. 🚫🗣️
Just power, cultura, y comunidad. ✊🏽🔥🌎
We’re still here. Aquí seguimos.
For too long, we’ve been invited into spaces that asked us to shrink, soften, or perform. This is the shift—where we stop asking for inclusion and start defining presence on our own terms. What we’re building isn’t reactionary—it’s intentional, rooted, and built to last. Es poder con propósito.
Estamos abriendo las puertas. Membership is now available— y posiciones en la mesa directiva están abiertas. 🚪✨
If you’re ready to build, liderar, y moverte con propósito, tap in. DM us. 📩

Nueva función destacada 🔍 — Bolsa de trabajo de TLPA

Las oportunidades no deberían ocultarse.
Por eso, creamos la Bolsa de trabajo destacada dentro de la app de TLPA: un lugar donde profesionales latinos y empleadores de la comunidad pueden conectar directamente.

💼 Ya sea que busques trabajo o contrates talento local, nuestro objetivo es simple: mantener las oportunidades en la comunidad.

✨ Publica trabajos de empresas con servicios a hispanos
✨ Encuentra empleadores bilingües y centrados en la comunidad
✨ Descubre puestos que valoran la cultura, la colaboración y la experiencia real, no solo las credenciales

Creamos esta herramienta para ayudar a nuestro equipo a encontrar caminos profesionales, no solo puestos.
Porque cuando contratamos desde dentro, todos progresamos juntos. 🙌🏽

New Feature Spotlight 🔍 — The TLPA Jobs Board

Opportunities shouldn’t be hidden behind closed doors.
That’s why we created the Featured Jobs Board inside the TLPA App — a place where Latino professionals and community employers can connect directly.

💼 Whether you’re looking for work or hiring local talent, our goal is simple:
to keep opportunities in the community.

✨ Post openings from Hispanic-owned businesses
✨ Find bilingual and community-focused employers
✨ Discover roles that value culture, collaboration, and real experience — not just credentials

We built this tool to help our people find pathways, not just positions.
Because when we hire within, we all rise together. 🙌🏽
