Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures and contributions of people whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. Observed from September 15 to October 15, the month begins on the anniversary of independence for several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, with Mexico and Chile celebrating shortly after.

Since its establishment, Hispanic Heritage Month has grown into a vibrant celebration of identity, resilience and community. It is a space to honor heritage while uplifting the voices, values and lived experiences of Hispanic/Latino individuals across the United States.

This year encourages reflection on the strength and unity found within Hispanic and Latino communities and invites us to honor the legacy of Hispanic/Latino organ donors, recipients, healthcare professionals and community leaders who continue to shape a more inclusive and lifesaving system.

💙💚🚗 This month we recognize the vital role DMVs have in saving and healing lives by asking customers the donor registration question every day. Our DMV partners are the people on the front lines of service who have helped more than 165 million people across the country register their decision to be a deceased organ, eye and tissue donor.

Join us in thanking our DC Department of Motor Vehicles partners for their incredible work saving lives through donation and transplantation!

Today we celebrate ! African Americans make up 13% of the U.S. population but represent 28% of those waiting for an organ transplant. Dr. Velma Scantlebury, the first African American female transplant surgeon in the U.S., reminds us: "Increasing organ donation in minority communities is not just about numbers—it's about saving lives and giving hope to families." Your decision to sign up as a donor can save lives and bring hope to those on the transplant waiting list and their families.💙💚 Thank you to Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation for creating the artwork to educate, honor and celebrate Juneteenth.
