CHEVY CHASE, MD – The Audubon Naturalist Society and its partners are proud to announce the third annual Naturally Latinos Conference (NLC3) happening virtually on Dec 2-4.
This year’s conference theme “Una Comunidad, Many Voices” underscores the reality that the Latinx community is not monolithic – Indigenous, Afro-Latinx, and LGBTQ+ perspectives matter.
“Each community brings its own superpower honed through the challenges they have faced. When you bring them together… it’s really powerful,” said NLC3 Conference Co-Chair Serenella Linares.
Conference highlights include, “A Conversation on Becoming Latinx Anti-Racists in Our Environmental Movement,” “The Queer Latinx Experience in the Outdoors,” and “Green Careers.”
Pinar Ateş Sinopoulos-Lloyd, the indigenous co-founder of Queer Nature, is one of five environmental champions being honored. The two keynoters are José G. González,
Founder and Director Emeritus of Latino Outdoors and Natali Fani-González, Vice-Chair of the Montgomery County Planning Board. She is the first Latinx and first millennial to serve on the five-member board.
Because the event is happening online, ANS is expecting audience members from the Caribbean and beyond to participate. The full agenda is here: https://anshome.org/nl3-agenda-2020/
