Please join me in my conversation with Jacqueline Gutierrez as I continue my mini-series focusing on how language plays a role in immigrant and multilingual communities. Jacqueline is the Youth Program Coordinator of Poder, a San Francisco based organization whose mission is to organize with Latino immigrant families, along with other low-income communities of color, to cultivate community rooted solutions that create an society with immigrant rights and social, racial, economic, and environmental justice. We explore the important work her organization does in the Mission and Excelsior communities to build community power. We also explore nuances of race, language and ethnicity, and specifically how it is important to break through the notions of what it means to be Latinx and how the concept of 'Latinidad' is not a simple 'box'.
