Social & Alternative Media

 

LEAD Summit XV brings together educators, students, families, researchers, artists, community leaders, advocates, and organizations committed to Latino education and the communities we serve.

This year, we are making it easier to participate and help spread the word.

Our first invitation is simple: join us on October 16. We also encourage you to invite students, colleagues, educators, organizations, and community members who would benefit from the Summit.

If you would like to help LEAD reach even farther, you can also amplify selected official LEAD posts through your own social media channels. You do not need to create original graphics or write your own captions.

 

 

Registration for LEAD Summit XV is complimentary.

Complimentary parking is available. Parking instructions will be shared with registered attendees before the Summit.

Spanish interpretation will be available throughout the day.

 

 

We especially welcome participation from K-12 schools, community colleges, universities, student-support programs, and youth-serving organizations.

School and program leaders are encouraged to invite students and attend as a group.

Adult participants may register through the standard online registration page.

If your group includes minors, or if your school plans to arrive by bus, please contact the LEAD team in advance so we can coordinate group registration and transportation logistics.

 

 

LEAD will publish the primary social media content for the Summit. Community members, presenters, partners, institutions, and supporters can help by sharing selected official posts through their own networks.

When you see a post labeled PRIORITY SHARE, we are asking our community to help amplify that specific message.

 

1. Open the official LEAD post.
2. Use your platform's Share, Repost, or Story feature.
3. Share by the requested deadline when one is provided.
4. Tag colleagues, schools, organizations, students, or community members who may benefit from LEAD Summit XV.
5. Add your own message if you would like, but an original caption is not required.

PRIORITY SHARE
Action requested. These are the limited number of campaign posts we most want our community to amplify.

OPTIONAL SHARE
Additional LEAD content that may be especially relevant to your audience.

FOR INFORMATION
An update or resource. No sharing action is requested.
 

 

Organizations and community members are always welcome to create original LEAD Summit XV posts. Approved event information and campaign materials may be used when needed, but original posting is not required to participate in the amplification campaign.

 

#LEADXV

Please use #LEADXV as the primary hashtag for LEAD Summit XV content.

We are transitioning away from the generic #LEAD hashtag and year-based Summit hashtags so the fifteenth Summit has one clear, consistent campaign identity.

Recommended additional hashtags when relevant:
#DivinaJuventud
#LatinoEducation
#CSUSB
 

 

Throughout the weeks leading to October 16, LEAD Summit XV content will reflect the spirit of this year's theme:

WE ARE XV
Celebrating fifteen years of scholarship, advocacy, culture, community, and transformation.

RISE
Centering the leadership, imagination, courage, and sacred vitality of youth.

REFLECT
Honoring ancestors, educators, organizers, families, and visionaries whose work continues through us.

REJOICE
Celebrating culture, art, music, danza, community, and the joy that sustains movements.

RESIST
Defending truth, education, civic voice, dignity, and justice in an age of disinformation and uncertainty.

REIMAGINE
Building new possibilities for education, democracy, healing, leadership, and collective responsibility.

TODAY WE RISE
On October 16, attendees are encouraged to share what they are seeing, learning, feeling, and carrying forward from LEAD Summit XV.

 

 

This year's Divina Juventud theme creates opportunities to center youth voice throughout the Summit. Puente students and other young leaders may be invited to participate in storytelling, Ambassador, panel, or other engagement opportunities.

Participation in storytelling is voluntary. Students should choose what they wish to share and how they wish to be identified. Appropriate permission and media-consent processes will be used when required, especially for minors.

Programs interested in becoming more involved are welcome to connect with the LEAD team.
 

 

LEAD Summit XV will include a community ofrenda honoring ancestors, educators, organizers, loved ones, and others whose lives and work continue to guide our communities.

Additional information about contributing to the digital ofrenda will be shared through LEAD's official channels.

Help us make LEAD content accessible to everyone:

- Add meaningful alt text to images when creating an original post.
- Include accurate captions on videos.
- Put essential event information in the text of the post, not only inside a graphic.
- Use clear, plain language.
- Capitalize each word in multiword hashtags, such as #DivinaJuventud and #LatinoEducation.
- Use emojis sparingly.
- When publishing Spanish-language content, provide equivalent translated accessibility information when applicable.
 

 

LEAD's strength has always come from community.

Attend. Invite someone. Share a Priority Share post. Bring your students. Add your voice if you would like.

LEAD will create the core campaign messages. Our community can help carry the invitation farther.

#LEADXV
Rise. Reflect. Rejoice. Resist. Reimagine.
