Description:

Alianza Americas cordially invites you to join us at the Official Launch Party and Gathering for Alianza Americas taking place at Busboys and Poets 14th and V! 

The purpose of this event is to celebrate the official launch of Alianza Americas’ new name. After more than a decade of working under the name: National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities (NALACC), it was time to refresh the organization’s image and reflect on our role in the U.S. and in Latin America. Our new name better reflects the breach of our base and outreach, including partnerships across the Americas.

We look forward to bringing together old and new friends, partners and allies who have helped advance Alianza Americas mission and vision over the years. We hope you can join us as we kick off our second decade with a renewed commitment to economic, racial and social justice.

Alianza Americas

Alianza Americas is a network of Latin American and Caribbean immigrant organizations in the United States. It is the only national organization in the U.S. that is rooted in Latino immigrant communities and works transnationally to create an inclusive, equitable and sustainable way of life for families across the Americas.
