The Hispanic Advocates Business Leaders of Austin (HABLA) is a community-based forum and think tank made up of Hispanic and Latino business and civic leaders in Austin. The organization provides a space for dialogue, collaboration, and leadership development, focusing on issues that impact the local Latino community. HABLA hosts bilingual forums and public events where leaders and community members come together to discuss policy challenges, identify solutions, and promote sustainable growth. In addition to its community engagement efforts, HABLA also supports civic participation through initiatives like its political action committee, HABLA y VOTA, which encourages voter registration and Latino representation in leadership. At its core, HABLA works to amplify Latino voices, strengthen business leadership, and ensure that the contributions of the Hispanic community are recognized and valued in Austin’s social, political, and economic landscape.
