Greetings Everyone, With recent news around COVID-19, the health and safety of the community is important to us. After much consideration, the planning committee has made the decision to postpone the 5th annual Conferencia Alianza Latinx event until further notice to ensure the protection of everyone from the spread of COVID-19. Conferencia Alianza Latinx will not happen on March, 28th. We hope to continue the work that we do in the future for our community and bring the excitement back for Conferencia Alianza Latinx. We would like to thank everyone for your patience, collaboration, and understanding on the current situation we are going through. Best Regards, 2020 Planning Committee
