The 2009 Latino Inaugural Celebration

In 2008, Latinos played an invaluable role in electing Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. The Latino community across the country was an integral part of the massive grassroots movement that changed the course of our nation's history.

The CasaBlanca Project and Latino Inaugural Celebration Committee formally invites you to celebrate the Latino community's participation in the U.S. presidential election! The event will take place at the Hall of the Americas of the Organization of American States (OAS) world headquarters in the heart of Washington's national monument district on the evening of Monday, January 19th, 2009. The celebration is being organized by representatives from national and local community based organizations, former campaign organizers, as well as the U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI), The CasaBlanca Project and Latinas Unidas for Obama. Don't miss out on the premier Inaugural Event of Inaugural Week and join us for an evening to celebrate the significant impact of the Latino vote, the new change in U.S. politics, and the grassroots movement that brought this change about.
