Latino organizational leaders, elected officials, and activists-
more than 2,000 leaders from 20 states and 700 organizations
and elective offices will convene October 5 - October 9th for the
purpose of planning the Latino political agenda.


During the Saturday, October 6 morning session, patriots will
stage a peaceful sidewalk rally outside of the hotel convention
site.

The National Latino Congreso's primary purpose is to create a National
Latino Community policy agenda by bringing in as many people as possible
as Voting Delegates to vote on policy resolutions. The 2006 National Latino
Congreso considered 70 Resolutions submitted via the Internet and the
floor of the Plenary Sessions. The 2007 National Latino Congreso will work
to refine and expand the policy platform that currently exists.
