National Alliance for Hispanic Families

Join The Alliance!

Town hall meetings sponsored by NAHF are underway throughout the country with broad participation from community leaders, elected officials, organizations, and parents interested in helping Hispanics build strong families and communities.

In San Antonio, the town hall meeting held August 30 was attended by a standing-room-only crowd at the University of Texas SA, along with elected officials including San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, State Senator Carlos Uresti (District 19), and State Reps. Trey Martinez Fisher (District 116) and Michael Villarreal (District 123).  Former mayor Henry Cisneros also attended, in addition to federal regulators including Frank Fuentes, HHS senior advisory, Administration on Children and Families.

“Our goal in coming together is to join our voices and pledge our support in a singular effort by creating a solid platform on which to speak,”  said Robert Erbrick, chairman of the board for AVANCE, co-host of the event. “This platform will bring the resources needed to provide unique research, and help alleviate issues of poverty, education, health care and so much more.”

Dr. Lorena Gonzalez, NAHF director, said these town hall meetings are bringing hundreds of people together throughout the country, "creating a voice that will represent our country, our families.”
