ABOUT
Join HOPE for its 28th Annual Latina Action Day happening in person on Monday, May 2, 2022 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento! We are excited to bring back the only advocacy day that centers the voices and experiences of Latinas at statewide policy-making tables. Latina Action Day convenes over 400 Latinas throughout California at our State Capitol to advocate for the advancement of Latinas in all aspects of civic life. During this day-long, in-person conference, attendees will engage in state policy measures that impact Latinas in areas of education, healthcare, economic and civic empowerment. Make your voices heard and let decision-makers know what policies support the economic and political parity of Latinas!
