Oregon Commission on Hispanic Affairs

Before Hispanic Heritage Month wraps up, a few words from Chair Katya Butler. #HHM2024 #HispanicHeritageMonth

"Hispanic Heritage Month holds a special place in my heart as a proud Chicana. Growing up mixed-race, I’ve learned to navigate the beautiful complexity of embracing multiple identities. This month reminds me how important it is to honor all of those parts." - Melina Moran

Commissioner Martinez recognizes and celebrates Latino Oregonians. Comisionada Martinez quiere dar reconocimiento y celebra a toda la gente latine de Oregon #HHM2024 #HispanicHeritageMonth

Hace unas semanas, las comisiones estuvieron en Salem abogando por nuestras comunidades durante los Días Legislativos de septiembre. La Comisionada Mina se tomó unos minutos para reflexionar y celebrar el Mes de la Herencia Hispana. #HispanicHeritageMonth #HHM2024

Conozcan a la Comisionada Nancy Ayala, quien comparte por qué es importante reconocer y celebrar el Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Juntos, reconocemos las contribuciones y la resiliencia de nuestra comunidad latina. ¡Sigamos construyendo un Oregón más justo e inclusivo para todos!
