Title
Como no ser Vencidos, Si no estamos Unidos? (How will we not be defeated, if we are not united?): Fighting for True Unity Amongst the Latinx Community
Abstract
In recent years, the Latinx community has had a growing amount of support within movements created to help Latinx people. Although this may be true, the Latinx community has always lacked a sense of unity. This is caused by issues like capitalism, systematic racism, white supremacy, and more. It is important to understand the reasons why we are divided, what the things that push us apart look/feel like, and why it is crucial that we start trying to solve this issue. Once we know these three things, we can finally start to push for true Unity amongst Latinx people.
