WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) will host the first annual Dominicans on the Hill, a day at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, February 7th from 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. EST. During the one-day event, Dominican-Americans from communities around the nation will attend workshops on issues ranging from immigration, education and the workforce, the U.S. economy and trade.
“Dominican-Americans are the fifth-largest Latino group in the United States and have a growing presence in communities around the nation,” said Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “With our growing population and representation across the U.S., it remains vital that Dominican-Americans and individuals of Dominican descent have an opportunity to let their voices be heard on the issues and concerns facing their communities.”
