LULAC HONORS MOTHERS ACROSS AMERICA AND PUERTO RICO ON THIS SPECIAL DAY OF LOVE
AND REFLECTION
===============================================================================
Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Celebrates All
Mothers and Calls for Unity and Peace in the Spirit of Justice and Compassion
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) extends
its heartfelt appreciation and most profound respect to all mothers on this
Mother's Day, a time to honor the women who are the heart and soul of our Latino
families and communities. From generation to generation, mothers have been our
wisdom-keepers, moral compasses, and defenders of home.
LULAC also lifts in prayer and solidarity the countless immigrant mothers living
with the daily fear of separation from their American-born children or currently
detained and facing deportation. Their pain is a burden no mother should carry,
and their courage is a testament to a love that knows no borders.
"LULAC was born 96 years ago from the hope and labor of Latina mothers and
fathers who believed in a better life for their children," said Roman Palomares,
LULAC National President and Chairman of the Board. "As the matriarch of
countless Latino-led movements and legacy institutions, LULAC owes much of its
mission and longevity to the women who have stood at the front lines of social
justice and civil rights. Today, we honor those women within our ranks and
beyond, whose voices and values continue to shape our communities and this
nation."
Mother's Day reminds us of the unshakable bonds of love, the need for peace in
our homes, and the beauty of unity across all walks of life. These are not just
family values. They are the building blocks of a compassionate and inclusive
society. When our country struggles to find common ground, we turn to the example
set by mothers everywhere, who teach us the power of listening, the value of
understanding, and the meaning of unconditional love.
"LULAC has proudly led with boldness and conviction, most recently becoming the
first national Latino organization to defend birthright citizenship in federal
court—an essential protection for mothers and their U.S.-born children," said
Juan Proaño, LULAC Chief Executive Officer. "This right has been a light of hope
for generations of immigrant families. We remain committed to preserving it for
those seeking freedom, dignity, and a better life."
On this Mother's Day, LULAC urges every household in America and Puerto Rico to
reflect on the blessings we share and the responsibilities we carry to honor the
women who gave us life. Their strength and grace have held families together
through the trials of migration, economic hardship, and the pursuit of the
American dream. May the peace of God be upon us all, and may His guidance lead
our country toward a just, equitable, and hopeful future.
