| Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This celebration runs yearly from September 15 through October 15 and was set up to recognize the history, culture and achievements of Hispanic Americans. Since 2000, Philadelphia’s Hispanic population has increased 27%, a large increase in comparison to the 5% overall population growth. Hispanic and Latino communities are among those suffering the most from the consequences of climate change around the world. However, local actions are improving conditions. In 2022, Philadelphia launched an Environmental Justice Advisory Committee to address injustices to Philadelphia residents and recently, the Clean Air Council has called for air quality information in order to protect Hispanic and Latino communities across Pennsylvania. Small changes, but those are the ones which make the biggest difference.  | Donate to the Scholarship & Grants Fund Your contribution will help fund scholarships for students each year and help to fund grants programs for communication organizations!
