The study shows America&#8217;s largest diverse community is feeling under-appreciated and less confident in the American Dream, as two-thirds of those surveyed say their vote as U.S. citizens does not count.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At a time when so many Hispanics feel estranged and threatened, I cannot think of a more important priority for us than to unify as one U.S. Hispanic community,&#8221; <span class=\"xn-person\">Romo Edelman<\/span> said. &#8220;I know in my heart it is what our Hispanic community needs at this pivotal moment in history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In developing the Hispanic Sentiment Study, We Are All Human commissioned Zeno Group, a global communications firm, to survey more than 2,500 Hispanics and Latinos over the age of 14, analyzing results by respondents who identified as first-generation Americans and second-generation Americans, as well as along generational lines: Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers and Matures. <\/p>\n<p>The study&#8217;s findings will be shared today to inspire the summit&#8217;s attendees to build a common agenda for the Hispanic and Latinx community, one that advances values and priorities, such as family, education, work, and safety for families. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unifying and organizing is an opportunity to realize the full potential of a community with <span class=\"xn-money\">$1.7 trillion<\/span> of U.S. spending power,&#8221; <span class=\"xn-person\">Romo Edelman<\/span> said. &#8220;Because if we fail, we risk losing the confidence of a Hispanic community that has long been a believer in the American Dream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other Hispanic Sentiment Study findings included:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Fewer than one out of five (19 percent) of the survey respondents who identified as second-generation Americans said they believed &#8220;The American Dream is alive and well,&#8221; much less than the 37 percent of Hispanics and Latinx who identified as first-generation Americans. <\/li>\n<li>Nearly half (49 percent) of second-generation Americans in the survey said, &#8220;The American Dream is alive, but it is not what it once was,&#8221; compared to 38 percent of first-generation Americans. <\/li>\n<li>One out of three (33 percent) second-generation Americans in the survey said the state of the U.S. Hispanic community was &#8220;very good&#8221; to &#8220;excellent,&#8221; significantly less than the nearly half (48 percent) of first-generation Americans who expressed the same level of confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Romo Edelman<\/span> noted We Are All Human&#8217;s research is consistent with a loss of confidence in business that was expressed by Hispanics in the 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer.<\/p>\n<p>In the global communication firm&#8217;s annual study of trust and reputation, Hispanics showed the lowest level of trust in business (35 percent) among all multicultural groups surveyed \u2014 a decline of 24 percentage points from 2017, the biggest trust decline observed among multicultural groups surveyed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Clearly, there is an opportunity to better engage and represent Hispanic and Latinx Americans, so they do not feel alienated from American values and priorities,&#8221; <span class=\"xn-person\">Romo Edelman<\/span> said. &#8220;Business leaders and political leaders who best understand this will be the ones who succeed at influencing how Hispanics spend, invest and vote.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>She said the Hispanic Sentiment Study&#8217;s findings point to what the Hispanic community is looking for from leaders:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Hispanics overwhelmingly (82 percent) think that they should be valued more than they are today. <\/li>\n<li>They also want to be engaged more, with more than half (56 percent) expressing interest in being &#8220;an active part&#8221; of the community. <\/li>\n<li>84 percent said they would be &#8220;more favorable&#8221; to brands that are &#8220;playing a positive role&#8221; in their lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i><u>About the Hispanic Leadership Summit at the United Nations<br \/><\/u><\/i><\/b><i>The Hispanic Leadership Summit at the United Nations is a <\/i><i>non-partisan event that plans to go beyond sectoral interests and insights from the November midterm elections to discuss and reflect on what unites America&#8217;s many Hispanic and Latinx communities, and what should be done to ensure their importance to the U.S.&#8217;s future is understood.
