Three Latinx organizations in Massachusetts, Hyde Square Task Force, Amplify Latinx, and Ágora Cultural Architects, come together to keep Latino culture buzzing with #CadenciaLatina: Performances from home.
On June 18th at 7PM, award winning choreographer, Marsha Parrilla will be performing dance theatre on Facebook Live. Parrilla is a Puerto Rican choreographer, performer and the founding artistic director of Danza Orgánica, a contemporary dance theatre company.

While we have your attention ;) : Let’s make sure Latinxs are seen and heard every day. Take the opportunity to visit https://2020census.gov/ and fill out the Census. Latinxs make up an undercounted group, which puts us at a disadvantage that could mean less funding and political voice.
