Austin to Host 2026 UnidosUS Annual Conference Focused on Advocacy, Leadership, and Community Action

Thousands of Latino leaders, advocates, nonprofit organizations, policymakers, and community partners are expected to gather in Austin later this month as UnidosUS hosts its 2026 Annual Conference on July 29–30 at the Fairmont Austin.

Held under the theme “Our Moment, Our Movement, Our Power,” the conference comes at a time when Latino communities across the country are confronting major issues involving immigration, voting rights, economic opportunity, and civic participation. Organizers say the event is designed to equip attendees with practical strategies, strengthen partnerships, and inspire collective action.

The conference will feature four major learning tracks:

Immigration Justice — Sessions focused on protecting immigrant communities, advancing policy solutions, and reshaping public understanding of immigration issues.
Defending Democracy — Workshops centered on voting rights, civic engagement, and organizing strategies to strengthen democratic participation.
Prosperity for All — Discussions highlighting entrepreneurship, workforce development, financial mobility, and economic growth within Latino communities.
Shifting Power — Leadership development and community organizing sessions aimed at increasing Latino representation and political influence.

The annual conference is expected to attract nonprofit executives, elected officials, business leaders, educators, students, philanthropists, and grassroots organizers from across the United States.

Several Austin-area organizations are serving as local partners, including Con Mi MADRE, Hispanic Women's Network of Texas, American YouthWorks, and Valere Public Schools, reflecting the city's strong network of organizations dedicated to expanding educational and economic opportunities for Latino families.

We the Hispanos Foundation Launches National Initiative Celebrating Hispanic Contributions to America’s Founding

As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of its independence, the We the Hispanos Foundation is inviting the community to a special evening celebrating the often-overlooked role Hispanics played in the founding of our nation.

A presentation on the Hispanic influence during the American Revolution
Updates on the documentary's national distribution and educational campaign
