About the Event:
This year’s Gala brought together our members, supporters, and a community of support for a memorable night. COPAL, a Latine-led organization, has grown significantly since our founding in 2018. Over the last six years, we’ve developed a powerful political presence and continue to uplift our members to become leaders for change.
Our keynote speaker, Patricia Torres Ray, delivered an inspiring address on building political power within Latine communities, celebrating her own journey as Minnesota’s first Latina elected to the State Senate.
We were also honored to have Congressman Chuy García share his powerful words about the importance of collective action and political engagement within Latine communities.
The night ended with lively music by Los Jornaleros del Norte, a band founded by day laborers that amplifies their voices and experiences through song.
