Executive Director of Amplify Latinx on unique challenges local Black- and Latino-owned businesses face

Welcome to another episode of MALN Opinion+! We are excited to have a weekly program dedicated to discussing the concerns and opinions of Massachusetts’s Latino community. 

We spoke with Executive Director of Amplify Latinx Rosario Ubiera-Minaya about the organization’s main goals for 2021, the unique challenges local Black- and Latino-owned businesses face, and how residents can get involved with the nonprofit. 

Rosario shared that Amplify Latinx, Black Economic Council of Massachusetts (BECMA), Greater Boston Latino Network, and Lawyers for Civil Rights joined to file an administrative complaint against the City of Boston just this week, on February 17th, for discrimination against Black and Latino businesses. Learn all about the organization’s ongoing work and how you can get involved in today’s interview.
