Our goal is to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive community where members can freely express and celebrate their diverse cultural backgrounds. We strive to create a safe and supportive space for sharing traditions, experiences, and stories, while encouraging meaningful cultural exchange. We welcome everyone, whether they identify with or are simply interested in learning more about the Latine and Hispanic communities, fostering understanding, respect, and unity.

At Raíces Unidas, we embrace the term 'Latine' as a more inclusive and representative way to refer to our diverse community. While 'Hispanic' is a widely recognized term, it doesn’t fully capture the identities of all those with roots in Latin America. For some, it carries complex historical associations with colonialism, exclusion, and marginalization. By using 'Latine,' we honor the rich diversity within our community and strive to create a more inclusive space for all.
