Conference Title: Si Se Puede: Saving American Democracy through Resistance, Organizing, & Solidarity
Location: Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey
We are thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable day of collaboration and action with numerous "know your rights panels" and a NJ governor's candidate Q&A at the 2025 Latino Action Network Legislative Assembly! This year's conference is free, thanks to our sponsors and those placing ads in our journal.
Last year, we brought together over 300 leaders, activists, and elected officials across New Jersey. This year, we’re excited to build on that energy with another incredible opportunity to engage with community and political leaders on the pressing issues that matter most. The event begins with registration, a continental breakfast, and a welcome session featuring key speakers and state and federal legislative leaders.
We are thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable day of collaboration, inspiration, and action at the 2025 Latino Action Network Legislative Assembly!
Last year, we brought together over 300 leaders, activists, and elected officials from across New Jersey. This year, we’re excited to build on that energy with another incredible opportunity to engage with community and political leaders on the pressing issues that matter most. The event begins with registration and a continental breakfast, followed by a welcome session featuring key speakers, including LAN President Javier Robles and state and federal legislative leaders.
Breakout Sessions:
The morning and afternoon are dedicated to breakout sessions focused on key issues:
Know Your Rights topics include voting rights, ICE raid defense, human trafficking, affordable housing, reproductive health care, protections for unaccompanied minors, school access regardless of immigration status, health care access, and workers’ rights.
Collective Well-Being sessions emphasize mental health and community care for marginalized groups, including DACA scholars, LGBTQ+ communities, Afro-Latinos, and Latino men's health.
The assembly aims to empower Latino communities through education, advocacy, and solidarity, promoting democracy and collective well-being.
Participants will have the opportunity to attend two sessions based on their interests and legislative priorities. Stay tuned for detailed session information coming soon!
Additional Highlights:
Community Resource Fair and Networking
As in the past, the assembly will feature many resource tables from our partners this year. The exhibitors include some of the grassroots organizations fighting for social justice and equity across many fields. They will offer information on numerous topics including immigration, housing, legal issues, and Government and nonprofit programs.
New Jersey Bi-Partisan Gubernatorial Panel
This exciting question-and-answer forum lets our participants know where the current government candidates stand on critical issues in our community. This year, our community faces threats, discrimination, and hostility from many sectors. We want to ensure that the future governor of New Jersey is willing to fight for our community.
The Zimmerli Art Museum Café con Leche
The Assembly ends at the Zimmerli Art Museum with coffee and Spanish pastries. In addition, the museum will offer a bilingual tour of their exhibit, an individuals will have an opportunity to network and relax after a busy day. This event has been a highlight for many of those participating in the conference in the past. We hope to see you there.
