Latinx Heritage Month Resources
September 15, 2023 — October 15, 2023
In honor of Latinx Heritage Month (September 15th – October 15th) please share these resources from our partners & collaborators.
Why we say Latinx:
At Teach For America we aspire to be an all-inclusive organization. This is why our community has decided to use the term Latinx. The "x" makes the word “Latino” gender-neutral and inclusive of genders outside of the male-female binary. Latinx includes people of Latin American descent of diverse cultural, national, racial, indigenous and linguistic backgrounds. Additionally it’s inclusive of individuals whose gender identities fluctuate along different points of the spectrum from agender or nonbinary to gender nonconforming, genderqueer, genderfluid, and intersex. To learn more about the origins of “Latinx,” listen to this interview from Latino USA https://www.latinousa.org/2016/01/29/latinx-ungendering-spanish-language/
