Be sure to also check out the \u003ca aria-describedby=\"jobs-label\" href=\"#ttsjobs\" id=\"hiring\"\u003eWe\u0026rsquo;re Hiring section\u003c/a\u003e on open and upcoming positions in TTS.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsa.gov/about-us/organization/federal-acquisition-service/technology-transformation-services\"\u003eTechnology Transformation Services\u003c/a\u003e (TTS) mission is to design and deliver a digital government by, with, and for the public. We are made up of multiple business units, including \u003ca href=\"https://18f.gsa.gov/\"\u003e18F\u003c/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https://coe.gsa.gov/\"\u003eCenters of Excellence\u003c/a\u003e (CoE), \u003ca href=\"https://presidentialinnovationfellows.gov/\"\u003ePresidential Innovation Fellows\u003c/a\u003e (PIF), \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsa.gov/about-us/organization/federal-acquisition-service/technology-transformation-services/tts-solutions\"\u003eTTS Solutions\u003c/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https://digitalcorps.gsa.gov/\"\u003eU.S. Digital Corps\u003c/a\u003e, where we have a shared mission with slightly different team structures and approaches. TTS is based in Washington, DC, but many of us work in home offices across U.S. states and territories. Remote work helps nurture a diverse workforce because it allows us to choose to stay in our communities while doing work that has an impact across the world. It also helps maintain the unique perspectives that are born out of the multitudes of communities in this country.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of maintaining a diverse remote workforce is creating an intentional, remote community. TTS has grassroots-led employee resource groups (ERGs) and affinity groups that create space to share things with one another outside of day-to-day project work. For \u003ca href=\"https://www.hispanicheritagemonth.gov/\"\u003eNational Hispanic Heritage Month\u003c/a\u003e, we want to highlight our TTS Latinx ERG which is a closed, opt-in group for people who identify as Latinx and want an opportunity to connect with others. We meet twice a month and have an internal chat room for general topic discussions. The group’s mission is to “advance and increase the understanding of Latinx identity in government, policy, and technology as an inseparable part of American identity.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of that mission, we created a two-part mini-series educating others on Latinx identity. In our first segment, \u003ca href=\"https://digital.gov/2022/10/11/celebrating-hispanic-and-latinx-heritage-month-at-tts-an-intersection-of-identity-and-public-service/\"\u003ewe shared how we define Latinx, dispelling some common misconceptions, and illustrated the importance of Latinx people in civic tech\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"what-is-latinx-or-is-it-hispanic\"\u003eWhat Is Latinx (Or Is It Hispanic)?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sets \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/omb/fedreg_1997standards/\"\u003eguidelines on the categories\u003c/a\u003e of ethnicity (\u0026ldquo;Hispanic or Latino\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Not Hispanic or Latino\u0026rdquo;) and race (American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White). These categories are then used by agencies like the U.S. Census Bureau and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/08/2020-united-states-population-more-racially-ethnically-diverse-than-2010.html\"\u003ecollect demographic information on race and ethnicity\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are challenges with these terms as they are often used interchangeably and incorrectly. Here’s a handy list of definitions:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternally at TTS, we use the terms \u003cem\u003eLatinx\u003c/em\u003e (pronounced Latin-ex, Luh-TEEN-ex, or La-TIN-ex) or \u003cem\u003eLatine\u003c/em\u003e (La-TEEN-ey) because they are gender-neutral alternatives to the masculine \u003cem\u003eLatino\u003c/em\u003e and feminine \u003cem\u003eLatina\u003c/em\u003e. We recognize there’s also a lot of discourse within the Latinx community about how representative this word is, or even if the word Latinx makes any sense at all — especially when pronounced.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026ldquo;Latino\u0026rdquo; refers to people with cultural roots in countries and territories in the Americas where a \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/topic/Romance-languages\"\u003eRomance language\u003c/a\u003e is the dominant or official language. This distinction includes countries like Brazil whose national language is Portuguese (the six most widely spoken Romance languages are Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, and Catalan). However, \u0026ldquo;Latino\u0026rdquo; excludes Spain, and some countries in the Americas— like Suriname, whose official language is Dutch, and French overseas departments or collectivities like Guadeloupe and Martinique, even though they speak French.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026ldquo;Hispanic\u0026rdquo; refers to people with cultural roots in countries and territories (such as Puerto Rico) that speak Spanish as a national or official language. Another thing that’s important to note is that \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/topics/population/hispanic-origin/about.html\"\u003ethis includes people from Spain\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot everyone who is Latino is Hispanic, but everyone who is Hispanic is Latino — except for people from Spain. The combination “Hispanic/Latino” technically includes people from Spain, but sometimes it’s explicitly written as “Hispanic/Latino/Spanish.”\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Spanish” is a language, and also what you call a person from Spain. Although many Hispanic people speak Spanish and may have ancestry from Spain, that doesn’t mean that Spanish is their nationality (where one is born and/or has citizenship).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLatino\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHispanic\u003c/em\u003e are U.S.-centric terms. People in Latin American countries don’t usually identify themselves as Latino, but will use their nationality (such as Honduran, Dominican, or Peruvian) in identifying themselves. People who are first- and second-generation Americans might identify as \u003cem\u003enationality\u003c/em\u003e-American (such as Mexican-American). Terms like \u003cem\u003eNuyorican\u003c/em\u003e (a Puerto Rican New Yorker), \u003cem\u003eChicanx/a/e/o\u003c/em\u003e (an American of Mexican descent), and \u003cem\u003eTejanx/a/e/o\u003c/em\u003e (a Texan of Mexican descent, particularly those whose families lived there when the region now known as Texas was still part of Mexico) also try to capture identities that are uniquely “American-born” with a different connection to their family’s country of origin.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"what-does-latinx-look-like\"\u003eWhat Does Latinx Look Like?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ethnicity is defined as a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition, but it doesn’t necessarily categorize physical attributes. The way we are perceived “racially”—our physical characteristics such as skin tone, hair texture, facial features, etc.—does not always fit with stereotypes of our ethnicity. In fact, people in the Latinx community may also identify with any of the five broad racial categories or with the “Some Other Race” option.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacial breakdowns of Latinx people are sometimes removed when reporting racial and ethnic demographics. Practices like this can perpetuate the misconception that Latinx is a “race” grouped together by sharing similar physical attributes. It also forces people to choose between their Latinx identity and their “racial category,” both of which are inextricable parts of our lives. Within the Latinx ERG, we’ve struggled to put our identities in a box. By sharing our experiences with one another, we’ve been able to share our knowledge, research, and stories with larger audiences within the government.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"latinx-representation-in-tech\"\u003eLatinx Representation in Tech\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn tech, Latinx people are often the least-represented ethnic group, especially when compared to the national population. According to Census.gov, 65.8 million people identify as Hispanic or Latino — \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/newsroom/facts-for-features/2022/hispanic-heritage-month.html#titlecore-6550757585\"\u003e62.6 million in the U.S.\u003c/a\u003e, with an additional \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/race-and-ethnicity-in-the-united-state-2010-and-2020-census.html\"\u003e3.2 million in Puerto Rico\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublicly available diversity reports from two major private sector tech companies in 2020 showed that in one, “Latinx+” employees (those who are Latinx and one or more races) made up 5.9% of their overall workforce\u003csup\u003e\u003ca aria-describedby=\"footnote-label\" href=\"#fn1\" id=\"footnotes-ref1\"\u003e[1]\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e, with 4.8% in tech roles specifically.

This is especially important while we work to improve the public\u0026rsquo;s experience with the government through technology and design.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclusive product decisions are made easier with inclusive and diverse teams. It can also minimize the risk of having to redesign or modify products and services after they have launched. Below, we’ve outlined three ways that our Latinx identity in TTS has helped inform processes, services, and products: language, lived experience and thought diversity, and creating inclusive experiences and driving change.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"language\"\u003eLanguage\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA growing number of the public speaks Spanish. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/acs/www/about/why-we-ask-each-question/language/\"\u003eAmerican Community Survey\u003c/a\u003e estimates that 13.2% of the population (approximately 40.5 million people in the 50 states and Washington, DC) speak Spanish at home—this number is even higher when you count Puerto Rico, where \u003ca href=\"https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile/Puerto_Rico?g=0400000US72\"\u003e95.6% speak a language other than English at home\u003c/a\u003e.

When combined with other types of expertise, it can provide valuable insight to a solution that solves a much bigger problem. For example, members of TTS’s Latinx ERG co-authored a \u003ca href=\"https://10x.gsa.gov/posts/2022-selected-projects/#:~:text=Improving%20Government%20Digital,Acquisition%20Service%20(FAS)\"\u003e10x proposal called, “Improving government digital service delivery to U.S. territories”\u003c/a\u003e from their experience of having Puerto Rico excluded from maps, drop-downs, and other visuals on government websites.

We all bring unique perspectives—and our identities contain multitudes. Thought diversity, or bringing more than one way to think about something to a team, starts with feeling safe and empowered to do so.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"creating-inclusive-experiences-and-driving-change\"\u003eCreating Inclusive Experiences and Driving Change\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLatinx is an inherently diverse identity. This diversity is invaluable when improving processes, especially for an ever-growing and evolving society. When products and services are built with diverse teams and user needs, we are less likely to redesign them after they are launched. Team diversity can also be represented on public-facing websites. For example, TTS designers can include photographs of people that reflect our nation’s diversity, as seen on the homepages of websites like \u003ca href=\"http://findtreatment.gov\"\u003eFindTreatment.gov\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"http://civilrights.justice.gov\"\u003ecivilrights.justice.gov\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n        src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/screencapture-civil-rights-justice-gov.png\"alt=\"The civilrights.justice.gov homepage features a collage representing the history of civil rights and the diversity of people of people in the United States, with historical images of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Dolores Huerta, and crowds at famous protests on the left, blending into modern photographs of people representing an array of racial, ethnic, age, size, disability, LGBTQ, and varying religious identities.
