Welcome:

Hispanics Across America

is a not-for-profit organization serving as advocates for Hispanic communities throughout the United States. HAA was founded in 2002 based on the vision of its President, Fernando Mateo. Mr. Mateo envisioned HAA as a grassroots think-tank committed to advancing the educational, social, health and political interests of the Hispanic community. A true believer in the American Dream, Mr. Mateo leads HAA in support of all those who want to make a reality of their dream. Be it through home-ownership or small-business workshops, HAA has as its central mission the goal of improving the quality of life in Hispanic communities by ensuring the full exercise of all the rights we are granted by the Constitution of the United States of America. .

HAA holds a press conference for Bolivar Cruz.

On Saturday, August 18, Hispanics Across America held a press conference and then a march for justice in response to the death of Bolivar Cruz. Cruz, a Queens bodega owner, was shot and killed trying to protect his daughter and a coworker from an unidentified criminal. Hispanics Across America and the Guardian Angels are offering a $15,000 reward for anyone who knows something about the murderer.

Hispanics Across America wants District Attorney involved in investigation.

At 11:35 pm on the night of April 28th 2007 the body of Rene Perez was found on Byram Lake Road in Bedford, New York.  What was so disturbing about this case was that this was the third death of a Guatemalan immigrant in the town of Mount Kisco, NY in the past 4 years.  Adding further intrigue to this case is the fact that the police department in Mount Kisco was being investigated by the Bedford police, which have led to the appointment of desk duty for the 3 cops involved in the investigation.  Hispanics Across America will not rest until the person or persons responsible for these murders are found.
