Latinas deserve equal pay for equal work — period. Today, on #LatinaEqualPayDay, we’re calling out the persistent wage gap and demanding an economy where Latinas can earn, thrive, and build a future without being paid less for doing the same work. Equal work. Equal pay. Equal opportunity.

Azul, in cooperation with the Congressional @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, brought the 2026 National Azul Poll: Latinos and the Ocean to Capitol Hill this week for a briefing on our communities' priorities Deepest gratitude to @repespaillat.bsky.social, Chair of the CHC, for his ongoing support!

Chairman @repespaillat.bsky.social was honored to receive the Black Brown Coalition Policy Agenda from Drum Major Institute and Mi Familia Vota. The CHC looks forward to working together to advance shared priorities, strengthen Black-Latino partnership, and expand opportunity.

Kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month, Chairman Adriano Espaillat and Leader Hakeem Jeffries convened Latino leaders from UnidosUS, Latino Victory Project, LULAC, Voto Latino, Mi Familia Vota, NALEO, Hispanic Federation & America’s Voice to discuss protecting our communities and building our future.

This Labor Day, we honor the workers who keep our communities, economy, and country moving forward. Every worker deserves a fair wage, safe working conditions, the freedom to organize, and a real shot at the American Dream. Today and every day we stand with working families.

Back-to-school shouldn’t break the bank. But families are feeling the Trump Tax: nearly $4,000 per child in school-year costs, up 10.7% from last year. Higher prices. More debt. Fewer opportunities for kids. Families deserve lower costs — not more excuses. #TrumpTax #BackToSchool

Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero should be alive today. Today’s testimony laid bare the devastating human cost of allowing ICE to operate with impunity in our communities and underscored the urgent need for transparency and accountability.

As the Freshman Representative for the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, I'm committed to advancing our Lower Costs, Grow Opportunity economic agenda. I’m proud CHC included my legislation to lower costs for our small businesses. It’s time to bring affordability back to the American people.

No child belongs in these conditions. Reports from the Dilley detention center describe children being served contaminated food, exposed to unsafe water, denied medical care, and deprived of meaningful access to education. Every child deserves dignity and humane treatment.

Latina power looks like leading with purpose, breaking barriers, and fighting every day in the halls of Congress to ensure every family has the opportunity to thrive.

Today, the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social hosted a field hearing in Houston about the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo at the hands of ICE. Thanks to the leadership of CHC Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social, @benniethompson.bsky.social @sylviagarcia.house.gov & other MOCs for their leadership.

Every life deserves equal justice. Whether your immigration status is documented or undocumented, the Constitution guarantees due process. Justice is decided in our courts—not by a masked ICE agent on the streets.

Following the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during an ICE enforcement operation in Houston, CHC Leadership has sent a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting ICE Director Todd Venturella demanding a full, independent, and transparent investigation.

@hispaniccaucus.bsky.social Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social demands the renewal of TPS for El Salvador "Unable to return to their country, Salvadoran TPS beneficiaries followed our laws, submitted to regular background checks, and bet their entire livelihoods on the word and good faith of the U.S."

As we close out Caribbean American Heritage Month, we celebrate the generations of Caribbean Americans whose leadership, creativity, resilience, and service have helped shape our nation’s story. Their contributions continue to strengthen our communities and inspire future generations.

La Constitución prevaleció hoy. La ciudadanía por nacimiento no está en debate. El Tri-Caucus se mantiene unido frente a los intentos de Trump de reescribir quién pertenece a Estados Unidos. 🇺🇸 El fallo de hoy es un recordatorio de que ningún presidente está por encima de la Constitución.
