    We met with representatives from the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus Foundation to talk about their 2025 Raices Report and how it helps advance a community-driven policy agenda for Latinos in Illinois and why it matters beyond that state.

At her core, she is a community organizer, always working to amplify the voices of those she represents in Springfield.Passionate about environmental justice and raising awareness for domestic violence, Celina continues to champion these causes.

Before joining the ILLCF, Alvarez was appointed by Governor JB Pritzker as Illinois’ inaugural Census Director.
