The Latin American Coalition (La Coalición), is one of the oldest pro-immigrant non-profit organizations in Charlotte. La Coalición builds a community of Latin Americans, immigrants, and allies while promoting full and equal participation of all people in the civic, economic, and cultural life of North Carolina through education, celebration, and advocacy. During the past 30 years, they have seen the immigrant community bloom and create great solutions that not only bridge cultures, but teach us to appreciate one other.
If anyone can help us find four new Instagram accounts to follow, it’s La Coalición. So, without further ado, here are four accounts they recommend:
