The Spanish Language: A Gateway to Our Shared American Heritage and Global Future
In an era defined by global connectivity, sidelining a language spoken by over 53 million Americans—who collectively contribute $2.8 trillion to the U.S. economy—is more than a misstep; it’s a missed opportunity. Yet, during the second-term Trump administration, the Spanish-language section of the White House website was deactivated, sending a stark message to millions of Americans and international stakeholders. Spanish is not just a language of history—it is a vital engine for cultural, economic, and international growth, and ignoring its significance undermines one of America’s most valuable assets.

Tapping the Trillion-Dollar Latino Market: A Roadmap to Build Trust for Corporate America
Latinos often take center stage during U.S. presidential election years, recognized as a critical voting bloc with the power to shape the nation's future. With over 36 million projected eligible voters, the race to win the Hispanic vote is more urgent than ever. But this community has proven to be incredibly influential beyond politics, driving progress across all institutions, particularly business. Leaders of all institutions and organizations looking for sustained growth and influence must prioritize building and strengthening their relationships with Latinos. The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: Business and Racial Justice highlights how crucial it is for communities to feel seen and elevated. The data shows that people are 24 points more likely to trust businesses that serve the needs of their racial community well. However, only 45% of Hispanic/Latino respondents in the U.S. feel that businesses truly understand their experiences and are committed to their growth.
