Why are we talking about 2030 in 2026? Because the blueprint for our community’s power over the next decade is being drawn TODAY.
In this vital episode of The Garifuna Experience Podcast, hosts José Francisco Ávila (Chairman of the Garifuna Coalition USA, Inc.) and Gregoria Flores Núñez (Executive Director of Garifuna Community Services, Inc.) pull back the curtain on the multi-year battle for Garifuna visibility.
The U.S. Census is more than a population count—it is a $1.5 trillion roadmap that determines the funding for our schools, the quality of our healthcare, and the strength of our political voice. For the Garifuna people, being "invisible" in official data means being ignored in the city budget.
In this episode, we discuss:
“If they don't count us, they won't fund us—and if they don't fund us, they won't hear us.”
Don’t let our community be sidelined for another ten years. Tune in to learn how you can help secure our collective prosperity and progress.
