Representation Matters: Boldly investing in Latina Leadership

In California, the Latina population is notably young, entrepreneurial, and resilient. Latinas are the future of the state and the leaders of today, however, California's government has yet to see Latinas ascend to its highest offices and be fairly represented. Learn how important topics such as redistricting and gubernatorial appointments impact Latina Representation and what policy opportunities, such as HOPE's Priority Bill SB702, can do to support Latinas breaking barriers and smashing glass ceilings.

HOPE’s Latina Action Day® Policy Issues Conference Mobilizes Latinas from Across California to Ensure an Equitable Recovery From COVID-19

COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted the Latino community and women in California, and Latinas have borne the brunt of some of its most negative effects on both their health and economic standing, while simultaneously working on the frontlines of the pandemic.  As California looks ahead to recovery from COVID-19, HOPE’s Latina Action Day conference hones in on some of the top issues impacting the wellbeing of Latinas including equitable economic recovery strategies, pathways to closing opportunity gaps in education, and increasing Latina representation in the state’s political offices. Built on the values of representation and advocacy, the three-day conference will convene thought leaders, decision-makers, and experts to discuss these important issues while centering the voices, experiences, and priorities of Latinas. 

Latina Action Day is the only event of its kind in California that centers Latina experiences and priorities in policy discussions.
