**NEWS FROM THE FIELD** Join the Creative Justice Initiative, the afrolatin@ forum Forum and the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture in Chicago for a discussion titled “The Intentionality of Building and Sustaining Afro-Latino/a/x and Latinx Institutions“. This insightful event will take place at the THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF PUERTO RICAN ARTS AND CULTURE on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at 6:30 PM Central Time. Despite their vital role in anti-racism and community building, AfroLatinx organizations struggle with chronic underfunding. Limited resources hinder initiatives slowing the movement’s progress. Despite that, many AfroLatinx organizations and institutions have continued to educate, empower and enlighten the Latinx community. Join us for a crucial discussion on empowering AfroLatinx and Latinx institutions and why we need to support the building and sustainability of these institutions.
