Come to SALSA!
Midwest SALSA Meeting
Latino student organizations throughout the United States are being invited to join SALSA, the Strategic Alliance for Latino Student Action. As SALSA partners, Latino student organizations will receive nonpartisan Latino Vote buttons, posters, pens, and banners to help them register their fellow students on their campus and earn discounts to attend one of USHLI's four regional student leadership conferences. 
 
After the registration deadline, these student organizations will hold weekend nonpartisan Get-Out-the-Vote parties using free minutes on their cell phones, text messaging, and email to contact their fellow students. After the election, our SALSA partners will host USHLI's Collegiate Leadership Development Program on their campus.
 
Click here for more information on SALSA and the appropriate USHLI staff will contact you.

USHLI Supports AARP's "Divided We Fail" Campaign
Divided We Fail
USHLI president, Dr. Juan Andrade, has entered into a partnership with AARP, strongly endorsing the "Divided We Fail" campaign. The nonpartisan campaign calls on everyone to join with millions of other Americans in supporting candidates who will move beyond the usual generalities and ambiguities and give us action, answers and accountability on health and financial security.
 
In signing the nonpartisan pledge card provided by AARP, Andrade said "the overwhelming majority of the nearly 50 million Americans without health care or adequate health care are Latino, and those of us who care about that fact have a moral responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable." 
 
Click here to join with USHLI in support of AARP's nonpartisan "Divided We Fail" campaign and send our elected officials a powerful message to end the gridlock in Washington and get things done.
