This week, our President and CEO Frankie Miranda had the privilege of joining the American Mexican Leadership Council (AMLC) inaugural bipartisan delegation in Mexico City alongside with AMCL co-founder and Hispanic Federation board member, Ambassador Nathalie Rayes, Co-Chair of the Mexican American Congressional Caucus Congressman Joaquin Castro, and Chair of the US Commission on Civil Rights Rochelle Garza, among many other civic and business leaders.

Highlights included a briefing at the U.S. Embassy, discussions on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), as well as challenges and opportunities for economic cooperation and growth on both sides of the border.

To conclude this visit, Frankie moderated a panel discussion on the significance of philanthropy and leadership in promoting cross-border collaboration.

About 40 million people of Mexican heritage reside in the United States, contributing close to $2 trillion annually to the country’s economy. Mexico stands as the largest trading partner of the United States, with over $935 billion in annual trade supporting millions of American jobs. Earlier this year, AMLC played a pivotal role in the establishment of the first bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Congressional Caucus. This delegation continues to build upon its foundation.

Hispanic Federation is a proud partner of AMLC and their mission to strengthening connections between the U.S and Mexico.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court handed the Administration a narrow, temporary win in its efforts to restrict mail-in ballot access – but here’s what happened:

🗳️ The Court ruled only on timing – finding states sued too soon.
🗳️ It did not rule on whether the new voting restrictions are legal.
🗳️ A separate injunction is still blocking those rules right now.
🗳️ New U.S. Postal Service developments may give states new grounds to sue.

Mail-in voting is a safe, proven tool that expands access – especially for elderly voters and people with disabilities. Nearly two dozen states are pushing back, and so are we.

“This ruling was reckless in the face of ongoing attacks on elections,” said Frankie Miranda, President and CEO of Hispanic Federation. “Hispanic Federation remains committed to connecting every eligible American voter to that most essential of freedoms: the right to vote.”

New executive orders are challenging birthright citizenship protections following the Supreme Court’s striking down a previous attempt. The new orders could significantly limit federal rights and services in Puerto Rico and U.S. territories.

Hear from our VP for Federal Advocacy and Network Engagement Julietta López, on why these efforts are “extremely concerning” and why Congress must protect birthright citizenship in Puerto Rico and all U.S. territories.

Thank you, El Diario Nueva York, for raising awareness about this critical issue.

Nuevas órdenes ejecutivas atentan contra las protecciones de la ciudadanía por nacimiento para los puertorriqueños luego de que el Tribunal Supremo derrotara un intento anterior. Las nuevas órdenes podrían limitar significativamente los derechos y servicios federales en Puerto Rico y EE. UU.

Escucha a nuestra vicepresidenta de Abogacía Federal y Movilización de la Red, Julietta López, quien explica por qué estos esfuerzos son “extremadamente preocupantes” y por qué el Congreso debe proteger la ciudadanía por nacimiento en Puerto Rico y en todos los territorios de EE. UU.

Gracias El Diario, por concientizar sobre este tema tan importante.

Our program CREAR Futuros helps Latine and other underrepresented college students thrive through peer mentorship guidance, and connections that support their journey to graduation.

Recently, our President and CEO, Frankie Miranda, joined Tatiana Anderson on Comcast Newsmakers to discuss how this support can help first-generation Latine college students navigate higher education and stay on track to graduation.

This conversation comes at a special time as we held our CREAR Futuros National Training last week, bringing together students, mentors, and liaisons from 15 schools nationwide to prepare for the new academic year.

To every Latine college student: your journey matters. And you don't have to navigate it alone.

Happy National Latina Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the heritage, resilience, and contributions of Latinas—and all the ways we show up, lead, advocate, and make a difference.

At Hispanic Federation, we’re proud to put that spirit into action every day: protecting immigrant rights, advancing education and health equity, supporting LGBTQ+ communities, strengthening civic participation, and taking Hispanic causes to heart.

And yes, being Latina and doing this work is…kinda chic. ✨

Last week, Puerto Rico made national headlines as thousands of people en la isla faced water shortages. But as the headlines fade, the crisis continues.

In conversation with the Los Angeles Times, Charlotte Gossett Navarro, our Puerto Rico Chief Director, emphasized that Puerto Rico’s water crisis did not happen overnight. Decades of underinvestment in aging infrastructure, poor watershed management, and limited maintenance have left communities without reliable access to this necessity. Today, the climate crisis is making these longstanding challenges worse, as record drought and extreme heat push already-strained systems to their limits.

Thank you Los Angeles Times for bringing attention to this ongoing crisis and highlighting the need for year-round sustained action and support, not just when the archipelago makes national headlines.

Read the full article to learn more about what’s happening in Puerto Rico and why we must keep up the pressure to protect the island’s resources.
