One of the most well-attended in history, the 2026 ATU Latino Caucus wrapped today in New Orleans, closing out 35 years the same way this Caucus started by being organized, hopeful, and stronger together.
Members walked in carrying concerns about what this moment means for their families. They walked out with answers, and with people ready to fight alongside them. International President John Costa opened the two days with a call to stand up to that fear, and what followed was a session on immigration law and rights, an immigration panel that armed members with real answers, and a room full of people who refused to face this moment alone.
"This Caucus has never been about one hard fight," Costa said as the conference closed. "It's about 35 years of showing up for each other and building the power to keep showing up for 35 more. Sí se puede isn't just something we say. It's what we do."
Congratulations to this year's award honorees, Latino Caucus President Luis Alzate, the entire executive board, and to each and every volunteer. ¡Gracias por todo!
