Latinos Unidos Siempre Youth Organization
The mission of Latinos Unidos Siempre (L.U.S.) is to empower youth to take leadership roles in the community.
To accomplish this, we work towards the educational, cultural, social and political development of Latino (and all) youth. We advocate for social and political change, while combating racist stereotypes and discrimination, through popular education and grassroots organizing.
L.U.S. was established in 1996, in Salem, Oregon. A group of 13 students came together that year to fight against immigration raids, a high drop out rate, gang activity, and four anti-immigrant proposals in the State legislature.

Latino Business Alliance
In 2009 a group of concerned group of Latino business owners and professionals came together to build trust, first among the selves and then to create a plan to help each other through the Great Recession. The idea grew and word spread through the whole community.
In 2010, the Latino Business Alliance was born. Officially, we are the Willamette Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce but in order to better connect with our community, we chose “La Alianza de Negocios Latinos” as our public name. We received our tax
exempt status from the IRS in September 2010 and were 100% volunteer run until early 2014.
The Latino Business Alliance’s mission is to empower small businesses in financial growth while promoting engagement and visibility within the larger American economy. By building trust in both the Latino Business and Non-Latino community, we are able to bring together like minded people with a common vision a better Willamette Valley for all! The LBA educates Latino businesses regarding interaction within the Latino community and the community at large as well as promoting entrepreneurship and professional development of Latino youth.

Latino Network
We are a Latino-led education organization, grounded in culturally-specific practices and services, that lifts up youth and families to reach their full potential. Our work springs from the core belief in Latino community self-determination—that is, the ability of community members to participate meaningfully in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their families.
Latino Network was founded in 1996 by community leaders who grew concerned about the lack of adequate resources to meet the needs of the growing Latino community. Since that time, we have evolved to become an organization that also encompasses transformational programs aimed at educating and empowering Multnomah County Latinos. Low achievement scores, youth violence and high drop out rates undermine the Latino community’s potential. We address these issues by promoting early literacy, encouraging parent involvement, working with gang-involved and adjudicated youth and families, and providing academic support and activities to high school aged youth. We also build leadership capacity for youth and adults.

Latest Latino People
Barry W. Engle
I am a criminal defense attorney. I stand up for people that have been charged with theft, possession of a controlled substance, murder, driving under the influence of intoxicants, and domestic violence to name a few. It is a common misperception that this means I am in favor of crime. I’m not. I’m in favor of people. I’m in favor of liberty. I’m in favor of not judging people solely by what amounts to the worst couple of moments of their life. I’m in favor of judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, to quote Martin Luther King, Jr. I’m in favor of the Constitution of these United States of America. I’m in favor of justice.
