The event, which spans from September 15 to October 15, commemorates how Latinx communities have influenced and contributed to American society at large. At SV@Home, we honor our trusted partners who dedicate their lives to organizing, advocating, and serving the Latinx community throughout Silicon Valley to uplift their voices, fight for justice, and provide the everyday necessities for those in need. We also recognize the richness in culture the Latinx community adds to our way of life, experiences, and perspectives. We appreciate the kindness, willingness, and patience of our partners to collaborate with us as we move forward together on the difficult path to more equitably transform Silicon Valley into a place where we can afford to live in and thrive. We would like to thank the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley, SOMOS Mayfair, Amigos de Guadalupe, School of Arts and Culture, Si Se Puede Collective, Latinos United for a New America (LUNA), the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley, and the countless others we did not name, including the Latinx individuals who work in other kinds of organizations.
