LATINX/LATINE ORGANIZATIONS/PUBLICATIONS
Latinx/Latine (adj.): Relating to people of Latin American origin or descent (used as a gender-neutral or non-binary alternative to Latino or Latina)
Why do I use the term Latinx or, if you want to say it all in Spanish, Latine instead of Latino or Latina? Simply put, I want to support the transgender, [a]gender and gender expansive community who are members of the pan-ethnic Latin American countries. If you are using Latinx or Latine in your every day language, thank you. If you are not and are actively refusing to, yet at the same time calling yourself an aspiring ally for the transgender, [a]gender and gender expansive community, then think again.
Alliance for Puerto Rican Education and Empowerment - APREE
Participants of APREE have been and are engaged civically and socially in the local and broader community. Many of the founders of APREE are alumni of the City University of New York. Some are retired or nearly retired. All have benefitted from growing up at a time of great change and social awareness that included giving back to our communities. These experiences have positively impacted our lives. To continue the legacy of giving back, they have founded APREE.

¡Excelencia in Education! - See more here.
Some believe a focus on race and ethnicity divides us as a society. At Excelencia in Education, we believe acknowledging racial and ethnic trends describes our society in useful ways. Using data and analysis to identify factors that influence the success of specific student populations establishes the base line information from which to develop more effective policies, engage diverse stakeholders, and enhance the active and tactical responses needed to better serve Latino and all students.
