RI's Latino Policy Institute Celebrates 15th Anniversary

The Latino Policy Institute (LPI) will be celebrating their 15th anniversary as an organization on Thursday, October 14 by holding an event to commemorate its work, partnerships and successes, while honoring Rhode Island’s growing Latino community.

LPI was founded in 2005, and has since continued to inform and shape public policy discourse by objectively examining the evolving Latino experience in Rhode Island. 

“It is an honor to celebrate the work, dreams, and dedication of those who have helped shape and grow LPI,” said Executive Director Marcela Bentancur. “While we have done so much, we still have so much more work to do. Let’s also recommit ourselves to the work we have ahead of us in achieving greater social, political, and economic equity for Latinos in Rhode Island.”
