Our Story
Our story begins with 6 Latinos, across 3 generations living in Montclair who became increasingly aware of the lack of visibility the Latino community had in the fabric of Montclair - from cultural understanding and celebration to local representation.
In 2022, Latinos of Montclair was founded with one simple goal, to host the first Latino Heritage Celebration in Montclair, NJ. We have since convened hundreds of Latino-identifying residents across NJ promoting greater visibility, celebrating our cultural diversity, and encouraging civic engagement.
Through our work, we hope to encourage structural change and build solidarity among communities while celebrating American Latino culture. We invite partners and allies to engage with and support our community-wide efforts towards a more inclusive New Jersey.
