the We Are All Human Foundation. "For the first time, more than a dozen Hispanic organizations, together with

a number of giant corporations, sent a collective strong message to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month by signing the Hispanic Promise. We hope this will be a signal to the country that Corporate America cares about Hispanics as employees, consumers and citizens and that other companies should follow this example."
