In a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around the establishment of a statue honoring the contributions of the Latino community in the United States. Martin Cabrera, representing Cabrera Capital Markets, announced a $50,000 donation to the We Are All Human Foundation to support this initiative. He emphasized the importance of private funding for the statue, highlighting a collaborative effort with Claudia Romo and her husband, Richard Adelman, who are instrumental in the project.

Claudia Romo, a passionate advocate for Latino representation, shared a personal story about her daughter, Tamara Gisiger, who has been actively engaged in understanding and promoting the history of the Latino community. Romo expressed her concerns about the lack of representation in educational materials, noting that her daughter felt disconnected from the narrative of American history, particularly regarding the experiences of Latinos during the Great Depression.

Romo's remarks underscored the broader implications of the statue, which aims to serve as a symbol of recognition and empowerment for the Latino community. She called for further contributions to ensure the statue's realization and urged families affected by historical injustices to participate in documenting their stories. The meeting concluded with a sense of hope and determination to foster a more inclusive narrative that acknowledges the vital role of Latinos in shaping America's future.
