Alcance comunitario: Community leaders share strategies for mitigating harm during emergencies

Latin@ leaders across the country helped their communities mitigate the effects of COVID-19 through innovative approaches. On December 7, 2022, Esperanza United had the honor of hearing from three such leaders: Rosa Guerra of Campesinos Sin Fronteras in Arizona, Elsabel Rincón of The Welcome Immigrant Network in Massachusetts, and Luz Zagal of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Minnesota.

They shared replicable strategies to reach Latin@ individuals, families, and communities and provide resources to increase health and well-being across the country and in Puerto Rico. In this document, you will find the main themes and successful strategies to reach Latin@ communities effectively during emergency situations.
