Vote With Your Wallet: Empowering Latino Businesses in Today's Climate

It seems like each day comes with a new weight, a new news story, a more repressive environment. Each day is heavier than the day before. For me, it is impossible to ignore the additional pressure and isolation that hangs over my community.


This is about more than the headlines. This is about the real stress felt in our homes, schools, and small businesses, which are the heart of our culture.


While the resilience of immigrants and the Latino community is characteristic of us, the current discriminatory rhetoric and actions are incredibly repressive. Usually, walking into a Latino-owned business is a lively experience, but lately this spirit has been dimmed. Latino/a/e individuals and businesses are not just selling goods and services; they are fighting to stay open.


Shopping local and purposefully can be a direct way to invest in your own values and support our struggling communities. Here is a guide to some Latino, Latina, and Latine businesses you can support.
