You may have your grapes, but do you have your New Year’s wishes?

We begin each year by stuffing twelve grapes into our mouths and making 12 wishes. After all, we want a year of good luck and prosperity! Here are our 12 wishes going into 2020:

First grape: (We’d need this one before 2020!) We wish for every child in custody at the border to be released and reunited with their parents, and Not.One.More to be detained. 

Second grape: More representation in media, politics, business, and every industry!

#3: Greater access to wealth for our community! 

#4: More educational institutions investing in Latinos.

#5: No more violence directed at immigrants. 

#6: An administration that respects and recognizes immigrant contributions to our country.

#7: More spaces to celebrate our diverse cultures! 

#8: Latinos taking up more space and demanding a seat at the table.

#9: Allyship within, and outside the Latino community.

#10: For Salma Hayek to rock it as a Marvel superhero 🙌🏽

#11: Regular heroes standing up for our gente in everyday situations.

#12: A Latino president! 

For all of us to recognize the power of our vote and USE IT wisely would be worth the grape gulping 🍇 Happy 2020!
