The summit will convene leadership across various industries and organizations to recognize this notable moment in history, calling them to join forces to create tangible goals followed by collective action to empower the Hispanic community, which has been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic this year.

Following the summit, the Hispanic Star will work to advance the Hispanic lens of the Sustainable Development Goals and advocate for a change of perception of the Hispanic community.
