UnidosUS Speakers Bureau

Latino communities across the country consist of diverse cultures, experiences, beliefs and stories to be told. The UnidosUS Speakers Bureau is comprised with members of our Affiliate network, which are community-based organizations located across the country that directly serve Latino families and individuals.

Our Speakers Bureau aims to amplify the voices of Latino community leaders on key policy issues. Our members can speak about the impacts of federal and state policies in their communities; sentiments across Latino communities; and Latino experiences. They can tell the stories of United States Latino communities.
