MoFo Celebrates Latinx Heritage Month

Each year, MoFo observes Latinx Heritage Month September 15 – October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. 

We invite you to visit our MoFo+ Blog throughout the month where we will share the remarkable influences that Latinx individuals have made to the firm and in our communities.

In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, the Morrison & Foerster Foundation will donate $20,000 to the following organizations that directly support the Latinx community: MALDEF, Voto Latino Foundation, RAICES, and the Keep Families Together Initiative at the Vance Center.

In addition, we are pleased to present the following special event in celebration of Latinx Heritage Month:

On Wednesday, October 9, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET, we will host a conversation with MoFo partner and Latinx Affinity Network co-lead Nate Mendell and Latina activist Alezandra Russell as they discuss her work with Urban Light. Alezandra is a distinguished Latina activist, author, and speaker, and the founder of Urban Light, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young men affected by human trafficking. Urban Light has provided essential services to over 9,000 vulnerable young men and boys through health, education, and creative and recreational activities. Urban Light is one of the few organizations worldwide that specifically focuses on boys and young men in the context of human trafficking.
