About Us

The Greater Boston Latino Network (GBLN) is a group of Latinx leaders representing various community-based organizations who co-created a network to amplify the Latinx voice, increase Latinx representation and visibility, and center our community’s collective impact.

Civic Engagement

We continually empower and engage Latinx community members to feel el poder of coming together for a common purpose to influence public policy issues, including but not limited to economic improvement and sociopolitical empowerment.

Our Work

Our work emphasizes the unique experiences of Latinx communities across the diaspora. Each report provides compelling statistics that clearly identify how underrepresentation impacts the allocation of opportunities and resources.

The Silent Crisis II

The Greater Boston Latino Network (GBLN) is proud to release its The Silent Crisis II report, revealing Latino representation (and under-representation) in city government leadership positions.

The report is a review of all executive position holders in city government in Boston and Chelsea, as well as all appointed seats on boards and commissions. The Silent Crisis II report, for the first time, includes three-year trends in Latino leadership in the two cities between 2014 – when GBLN’s original ‘The Silent Crisis’ report was released – and 2017.
