In 2022, Latinos of Montclair was founded with one simple goal, to host the first Latino Heritage Celebration in Montclair, NJ. They have since convened hundreds of Latino-identifying residents across NJ promoting greater visibility, celebrating our cultural diversity, and encouraging civic engagement.
Through their work, they hope to encourage structural change and build solidarity among communities while celebrating American Latino culture. They invite partners and allies to engage with and support their community-wide efforts towards a more inclusive New Jersey.
