Hispanic Heritage Month 2022

National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15th to October 15th every year as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the Latino community.

​So, in honor of this month, I've made a list some great organizations, groups, and non-profits you can donate to, volunteer with, and are here to help if you or someone you know needs it.
​

• La Paz Chattanooga is a connector guide for the Latinx community. They have a food pantry available to the community and professional development classes. Their social impact office allows them to provide care and services to clients.
• Fuerza Democrats Tennessee is a state political action committee. The group offers information, such as if Latino voters are allowed an interpreter to the polls, what to bring when voting, how to become a US Citizen, and more.
• HOLA UTC unites the Hispanic and Latino communities on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's campus. They hold movie nights, and dance exhibitions, help with FASFA, and hold informative meetings on immigration.
• The ​Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) is a statewide immigrant and refugee coalition. They offer integration services consisting of English learning classes, family defense help, and information for becoming a citizen.
• Students for Migrant Justice educates the UTK campus about the immigration system, mobilizing on and off-campus, as well as building power with student immigrants.
• TIRRC Votes is the political arm for the The ​Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition. The organization was created to "build political power for immigrant and refugee communities."
