EBLRLA Endorses the 2010 National Latino Congreso
Today, the EBLRLA board voted to endorse the 2010 National Latino Congreso.
Convened by nine national Latina/o advocacy organizations, the 2010 National Latino Congreso will be held January 29-31 in El Paso, Texas and will be the fourth such Congreso in recent history, following the original convening in 2006.
In the coming months, the EBLRLA will organize a delegation of lawyers, law students and other legal workers who identify with the Latina/o community and wish to engage one of 2010’s first national convenings of Latina/o advocates, bringing the distinctive legal education, social capital and critical insights of organized Latina/o lawyers to share with other advocates for justice.
“Organizing Latina/o lawyers to unify in support of the human rights of our people — and all who are socially and legally marginalized — is necessary at this time,” says EBLRLA president, Marc-Tizoc González, “and the EBLRLA calls on others interested in advancing social justice to endorse the National Latino Congreso.
