"With so much at stake for families around the country, we are thrilled to welcome the Biden-Harris Administration and to celebrate their inauguration," said Henry R. Muñoz III, Founder of Momento Latino and executive producer of the program. "Latino communities face existential threats every day - from the disproportionate spread of COVID-19 through our communities, to the requirement that we work essential jobs without essential benefits, to the fear of our democracy falling apart and the constant threat of deportation and family separation. We are gathering to celebrate Latinos' contributions & our power in this country, and to honor the next era of American leadership in President Biden and Vice President Harris."

"A record number of Latinos cast ballots in our recent Presidential elections and overwhelmingly voted for change," stated Frankie Miranda, President & CEO of Hispanic Federation, a presenting partner of the Latino Inaugural 2021: Inheritance, Resilience & Promise. "We extend our sincere congratulations to President-elect Joseph Biden Jr. and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and are delighted to host an event to lift Latino voices in tribute to their inauguration, along with more than 50 of our fellow Latino national organizations, Latino elected and appointed leaders, and Latino celebrities and artists. We look forward to working together to fulfill the promise and hope that our communities have placed in the next Administration to ensure our issues are addressed, and pledge to do our part to help bring our country together to heal, rebuild, and prosper."
