Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, it is my honor today to recognize ``Servicios de la Raza'' for receiving the Ohtli Award granted by the Government of Mexico for dedicating their work to making our community a better place, while promoting the beauties of Mexican American culture.

Servicios de la Raza has served our community for over five decades-- making it their mission to dismantle the cycle of poverty by placing an emphasis on empowering low- and moderate-income people and communities of color. Their work includes counseling, job-training, and other culturally responsive, essential human services meant to foster success in our community.

As we have seen time and time again, the Latinx community is an incredibly important part of the fabric of both our district and our Nation. It is because of them that our community has found incredible strength in diversity, and I congratulate Servicios de la Raza on receiving this much deserved award.
