About this event

Hispanic Capitol Day is a non-partisan event designed to raise awareness and educate elected officials about issues that impact the Hispanic and Latinx community in Missouri. It also serves as a platform to empower members of our community to participate in civic activities and advocate for a better future for all.

This event is not affiliated with any political party, religious faith, or specific nationality—we are united as one Hispanic/Latinx community. As committed community members, we focus on advancing the interests and concerns of our community while working toward a more prosperous and welcoming Missouri for everyone.
