Gwen Moore Celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month 
 
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released this statement commemorating National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 through October 15:
 
“Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate Hispanic history and culture. We also take this time to celebrate the diversity that Latinos bring to our schools, our workforce and beyond.  
 
“As we commend and honor the many contributions Latinos have made to improve our nation, we must be mindful of the continuing struggle many in this community face. As a member of the Tri-Caucus, which consists of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, I am firmly dedicated to fight for those who are marginalized in society. I was proud to support the President in his recent decision to provide temporary relief from deportation to qualifying young immigrants so that they can give back to the country where they have lived and learned.    
 
“This month and always, we must commit ourselves to expanding opportunity for everyone.”
