Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated from September 15 to October 15, honors the culture, history, and contributions of Latino and Hispanic Americans in the United States.
As part of Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, an event will be held in Kingston, NY. The "Latinos in Local Politics" roundtable discussion will take place on **Thursday, October 17th** at **Kingston City Hall** from 6 to 8 PM.
This event is not only a recognition of the growing influence of Latinos in regional politics but also an opportunity to engage with local leaders across the political spectrum.
Moderating the discussion is **Mariel Fiori**, the Managing Editor of *La Voz* magazine, which has been a key voice in the Latino community in the Hudson Valley. Mariel is an advocate for Latino representation, known for her journalistic contributions and community engagement efforts.
Radio Catskill’s Patricio Robayo spoke to Mariel and asked why celebrating and recognizing Hispanic Heritage is important.
