Pablo Serrano hits the stage
Many of us know Pablo Serrano through his neighborhood murals-including the one he created  in partnership with Latinos Progresando, and others know him through his People's Stage Karaoke, but now we get a chance to see him singing and dancing live on stage as part of Teatro Americano/Chicago Shakespeare Theater's production of In the Heights.

Real talk about real costs
In case you missed the Donors Forum's "Engage 2013: Real Talk about Real Costs," check out their video about what nonprofit organizations truly need to succeed. LP's Executive Director Luis Gutierrez was part of Donors Forum's Communities of Practice, a cohort of  funders and other nonprofit leaders that talked about the real cost of running nonprofit organizations for the year leading up to this event. 
Working for peace
On March 10th, LP's Luis Gutierrez joined other community leaders at the 5th Annual Peace on Earth Film Festival to talk about the role of peace in solving immigration, education, environmental and safety issues.
