Let’s Support State Bill 2270: Latina and Latino Studies in K–12: Together, We Can Make Latina and Latino Studies Part of Every Classroom

We’re excited to share some important news: State Bill 2270: Latina and Latino Studies in the K–12 Curriculum is moving forward—and we need to stand together to support it.

This bill is about more than academics. It’s about:

• Acknowledging Latina and Latino communities across Illinois

• Addressing historical gaps in education

• Ensuring students and families feel seen, validated, and empowered

• Building a foundation for future generations

  
  

Passing this legislation would be an incredible step forward for equity, representation, and justice in education. It affirms the work so many of us have been doing in our communities to celebrate cultures, build trust, and empower the next generation.

Let’s support this bill and make sure Latinx histories, cultures, and contributions are taught, celebrated, and remembered.

Join us at the upcoming conversation: Cafecito con Pan, on Friday, October 10 • 10:00–11:30 AM at the 18th Street Casa de Cultura, Chicago. RSVP HERE
