dc.description.abstractThe experiences of Latinx families face difficult challenges to build a better future in cities across the US. Motivated by their families' needs and the values of "familismo" within their community, Latinx families build social networks to help them cope with the challenges of moving to a new place and understanding the systems. Latinx workers face discrimination, and many have to rely on "aguantarismo" to have a job and survive accidents, chronic illnesses, and pandemics. Socioeconomic systems benefit elite groups that oppress Latinx workers to accept injustices without complaint. Celebrating the Latinx culture in Baltimore not only encourages pride in the culture but also promotes it. By sharing their culture, a form of “celebrarismo”, Latinx people have created social networks to support each other and survive while living far away. The Latinx community in Baltimore is one of the fastest-growing populations in the city, and it is important to recognize their values and contributions.
