Big Give starts TONIGHT at 9pm and will run until 9pm tomorrow, March 14! The Latinx Research Center is a research hub dedicated to enhancing the cultural, economic, educational, and political opportunities of Latinxs in California. Our center actively works towards uplifting cultural diversity as a source of intellectual excellence and leadership.
