President Biden knows that America’s future prosperity and global leadership is tied to the success of Latino families and communities. Latinos must receive equitable opportunities to
share in the recovery from the pandemic and the investments we are making to build back better than before. After four years of attacks on Latino families and communities, the Biden-Harris
Administration has taken historic actions to advance civil rights, racial equity, and economic prosperity for Latino communities across the country. The President has also re-opened
the doors of the White House, so Latino community leaders and community members have a seat at the table. This National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Biden-Harris Administration celebrates
the progress made towards equity for Latino communities since President Biden took office and recommits to lifting up Latino families and communities.
The Biden-Harris Administration continues to deliver for the Latino Community by expanding access to health care, lowering drug prices for seniors, providing student debt relief, creating
well-paid jobs and lowering Hispanic unemployment to its lowest rate in history. Read more about our accomplishments for the Latino communities here:
