Introducing Latino Leaders for the Enhancement of Advocacy and Development (LLEAD)

Imagine the possibilities of having a state-wide organization with a mission to help bring Latino Michiganders together to advance their communities, end social disparities, and keep their culture alive.

In November 2013, Alberto Flores brought Latino leaders together in Lansing to talk about those possibilities and others to help the Latino population in Michigan thrive. “We looked at creating a state-wide Latino organization,” says Alberto. “We kept meeting until we were formed in 2014.” These meetings led to the formation of Latino Leaders for the Enhancement of Advocacy and Development, also known as LLEAD.

Alberto’s family settled in Michigan from San Antonio, Texas. Like millions of other families who settle out of the migrant stream, the family went through many difficulties along the way. Through hard work and dedication, they created a good life for themselves and future generations of their family.

With his undergrad degree from Saginaw Valley State University and a Master’s in Public Administration from the University of Michigan, Alberto became the “Latino Liaison” for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. This position made Alberto more aware of the challenges and concerns facing Latinos in Michigan. These initial concerns included the high school-to-prison pipeline, health disparities, and more.

LLEAD is a crucial part of enhancing life for Latino Michiganders, a population that has grown extensively in recent years. LLEAD published a report in July 2022 entitled “Hispanics in Michigan,” a report regarding the 2020 U.S. Census funded by the Hispanic Latino Commission of Michigan. Juan Marinez, a member of LLEAD and chair of the LLEAD Census Committee, helped ensure the report gathered and presented information relevant to the Latino community.

This report showed a decade of rapid growth in the Latino population in Michigan, reaching 564,422 according to the 2020 U.S. Census. In the last decade, the population of Michigan saw a 1.96 percent net increase, with 193,691 new residents. Of this increase, 66.1 percent of the total increase in the general population is represented by Hispanics. 128,064 Hispanic inhabitants out of 193,691 total population growth are undoubtedly significant. And for those new Hispanic residents, as well as the Latino population as a whole, LLEAD is ready to provide resources, support, and community advancement.

LLEAD board members had a meet & greet with Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel at Fiesta Charra in East Lansing in 2022. Pictured from left: Leroy Hernandez, Brad Hall, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, Dan Soza, Bobby Deleon, Al Flores, Guillermo Lopez, and Dr. Laura Gonzales

In October 2022, community members in Southeast Michigan met and established the Southeast Michigan/Metro Detroit LLEAD chapter with common interests in criminal legal system reform issues. A chief focus for the chapter is to reevaluate cash bail policies, ensuring that people, especially the indigent, are never held in jail due to poverty. They also advocate for jury processes to include an equal and diverse representation of all communities, ending life sentences for crimes committed by juveniles, and improving family access to their incarcerated loved ones through affordable telephone communication.

“Our chapter is made up of people with all different backgrounds and from all walks of life, including returning citizens and individuals who remain incarcerated today,” says Bradley Hall, a public defender and co-Chair of the SE Michigan/Metro Detroit LLEAD chapter.

The 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization aims to bring a voice to Latinos in Michigan. Members work to better the lives of Latinos in the state in all areas of life, with involvement in other topics of public importance like school and library funding, fair treatment of immigrant populations, and enhancing opportunities for Latino communities.

Alberto says his biggest inspiration is being Mexican American “Chicano/Latino.” He states that keeping his culture alive is of the utmost importance. “I couldn’t live if I didn’t have my Latino music, food, humor, language, and all that goes with being Latino.” Moreover, his passion for his culture is crucial. It is a reminder that keeping those cultural aspects alive plays just as critical of a role in advancing life for Latino Michiganders and others across the nation as LLEAD’s other areas of interest do. Alberto says, “We have a promising future and the ability to frame our destiny; in other words, a remarkable Latino Destino.”

LLEAD is ready to impact, inspire and, most importantly, create a future we can all be proud of. Having members willing to act and embrace opportunities will help their community grow. Each Michigan chapter has a calendar of events for 2023. Representatives from the Saginaw Chapter of LLEAD will interview John Quiñones, the Emmy award-winning reporter and creator/ host of the ABC television series “What Would You Do?” at Delta College on March 29th. More information on this event can be found on the state and any chapter LLEAD Facebook page or at www.Delta.edu.

Meetings and discussions within the group are always kept respectful, enjoyable, and focused on the future of Latinos in Michigan. For more information on LLEAD and their work or to get involved with the organization, you are welcome to email Al Flores at alflo2@outlook.com or Brad Hall at bradleyrhall78@gmail.com or visit www.llead.org.

La organización de los Líderes Latinos para la defensa y el Desarrollo (LLEAD)

Traducción por Carmen Elena Luna

Imagine la oportunidad de tener una organización estatal, con la misión de ayudar a unir a los latinos de Michigan para lograr hacer crecer sus comunidades, terminar con las desigualdades sociales y mantener viva su cultura.

Alberto Flores, reunió a los líderes latinos en Lansing, en noviembre de 2013, para discutir esa opción y ayudar a la población latina en Michigan a tener un mejor futuro. “Buscamos crear una organización latina en todo el estado… seguimos reuniéndonos hasta que la conformamos en 2014”, dijo Alberto. Estas reuniones llevaron a la formación de Latino Leaders for the Enhancement of Advocacy and Development (Líderes Latinos, para el Desarrollo y la Defensa Legal) también conocidos como LLEAD.

La familia de Alberto llegó a Michigan desde San Antonio, Texas y como millones de familias que se asientan fuera de la corriente migratoria, la familia pasó por muchas dificultades a lo largo del camino. Pero por medio del trabajo y la dedicación, han mejorado su vida y la de las futuras generaciones de su familia.

Con un título universitario de la Universidad Saginaw Valley State y una Maestría en Administración Pública de la Universidad de Michigan, Alberto se convirtió en el “Enlace latino” del Departamento de Derechos Civiles de Michigan. Esta posición hizo a Alberto más consciente de los desafíos y preocupaciones que enfrentan los latinos en Michigan. Estas preocupaciones iniciales serían, por el trecho que lleva a los jóvenes, de la escuela secundaria a la prisión; las desigualdades en el sistema de salud y más.

LLEAD es parte crucial para mejorar la calidad de vida de los latinos de Michigan, una población que ha crecido mucho en los últimos años. LLEAD publicó un informe en julio de 2022 titulado “Hispanos en Michigan”, un informe sobre el Censo de EE. UU. de 2020, financiado por Hispanic Latino Commission of Michigan (Comisión Hispana Latina de Michigan). Juan Marinez, miembro de LLEAD y presidente del Comité del Censo de LLEAD, ayudó a garantizar que el informe reuniera y presentara información relevante para la comunidad latina.

Este informe, mostró una década de rápido crecimiento en la población latina de Michigan, llegando a 564,422 según el Censo de EE. UU. de 2020. En la última década, la población de Michigan experimentó un aumento neto del 1,96 por ciento, con 193.691 nuevos residentes. De este aumento, el 66,1 % del aumento total en la población en general, está representado por hispanos; 128.064 habitantes hispanos de los 193.691 habitantes de crecimiento total de la población son sin duda, un número significativo. Y para esos nuevos residentes hispanos, así como para la población latina en general, LLEAD está lista para proporcionar recursos, apoyo y avance comunitario.

En octubre de 2022, los miembros de la comunidad en el sureste de Michigan se reunieron y establecieron una extensión LLEAD del sureste de Michigan/Metro Detroit, con intereses comunes para la reforma de las leyes del sistema penal. Uno de los enfoques principales para esa sección, es reevaluar las políticas de las fianzas monetarias, asegurándose que las personas, especialmente los indigentes, nunca sean llevados a la cárcel debido a la pobreza. También abogan por los procesos de jurado, para incluir una representación igualitaria y diversa, de todas las comunidades, poner fin a las cadenas perpetuas por delitos cometidos por menores y mejorar el acceso de las familias, a sus seres queridos encarcelados a través de comunicaciones telefónicas asequibles.

“Nuestras extensiones LLEAD, están formada por personas de diferentes orígenes y de todos los ámbitos de la vida, incluidos los ciudadanos que retornan y las personas que permanecen encarceladas en la actualidad”, dice Bradley Hall, defensor público y copresidente de la extensión LLEAD del SE Michigan/Metro Detroit.

La organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3) tiene como objetivo dar voz a los latinos en Michigan. Los miembros trabajan para mejorar la vida de los latinos en el estado en todas las áreas, con participación en otros temas de importancia pública como la financiación de escuelas y bibliotecas, el trato justo de las poblaciones inmigrantes y la mejora de las oportunidades para las comunidades latinas.

Alberto dice que su mayor inspiración es ser mexicano-americano “chicano/latino”. Afirma que mantener viva su cultura es de suma importancia. “No podría vivir si no tuviera mi música latina, comida, humor, idioma y todo lo que implica ser latino”. Además, su pasión por su cultura es crucial. Es un recordatorio, de que mantener vivos esos aspectos culturales juega un papel tan crítico, en el avance de la vida de los latinos de Michigan y de todo el país, como lo hacen las otras áreas de interés de LLEAD. Alberto dice: “Tenemos un futuro prometedor y la capacidad de enmarcar nuestro destino; en otras palabras, un Destino Latino notable”.

LLEAD está lista para impactar, inspirar y, lo más importante, crear un futuro del que todos podamos estar orgullosos. Tener miembros dispuestos a actuar y aprovechar las oportunidades, ayudará a que su comunidad crezca. Cada extensión de LLEAD en Michigan, tiene un calendario de eventos para el 2023. Representantes de la extensión en Saginaw de LLEAD, entrevistarán a John Quiñones, el reportero ganador del premio Emmy y creador/presentador de la serie de televisión de ABC “¿Qué harías?” en la universidad Delta College, el 29 de marzo. Se puede encontrar más información sobre este evento en la página de Facebook del estado y cualquier extensión LLEAD o en www.Delta.edu.

Las reuniones y Las discusiones dentro del grupo siempre se mantienen respetuosas, agradables y enfocadas en el futuro de los latinos en Michigan. Para obtener más información sobre LLEAD y su trabajo o para involucrarse con la organización, puede enviar un correo electrónico a Al Flores a alflo2@outlook.com o Brad Hall a bradleyrhall78@gmail.com o visitar www.llead.org.
