Pricey Kansas City Latino Conference Too Rich For Activist Protesters?!?

AI helped us quickly find the admission cost to an upcoming local Latino party because TKC nearly flipped out when we heard the fees over the phone . . . So we were forced to confirm which is more work than Mary Sanchez did by way of her celebratory column.

Check the damage . . .  

"The 2025 UnidosUS Annual Conference prices vary depending on the registration type. General admission is $660, affiliate member registration is $450, and young adults (18-30), seniors (65+), and Kansas City locals can register for $360, according to the Kansas City Convention Center. Premium packages and group discounts are also available, according to the Kansas City Convention Center."

 Give us a second . . .

¡¡¡AY DIOS!!! WHO HAS THAT KINDA CASH FOR KANSAS CITY LATINO MEETUPS?!? 

Hint . . . 

Attendees with that many pesos to waste aren't anyone who might advocate for immigrant rights no matter what the column from Mary Sanchez might contend.

In fairness . . . 

Here's her take that was mostly written to make her white, progressive, middle-class bosses happy . . . Check-it:  

"Janet MurguĂ­a, a native of Kansas City, Kansas, is president and CEO of UnidosUS, which is holding its annual conference in Kansas City Aug. 4-7. 

"The conference opens days after nearly a dozen people were taken from their jobs at two Kansas El Toro Loco Mexican Bar and Grill locations in morning raids by Homeland Security Investigations, a unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
