"Los Cien" Sonoma County
6th Annual State of the Latino Community
“Closing the Gaps”
Social, Economic and Political
A Model for the North Bay Region
As the fastest growing demographic in Sonoma County, Latinos play a critical and important role in the long term social and economic well-being of our community. Yet in almost every measure, Latino outcomes are below those of white, non Latinos in Sonoma County.
This year’s State of the Latino Community will focus on closing the gaps and improving outcomes for Latinos across six critical areas of equity, housing, political engagement, education, health and the environment.
Join us and be part of this important community conversation to drive positive change and strengthen economic mobility and opportunity for Latinos in our region over the next decade.
