Notes from the Field


“Latina Voices Against Domestic Violence” Panel

On November 2, we were proud to partner with Esperanza United and MANA: A National Latina Organization to host ‘Latina Voices Against Domestic Violence,‘ a virtual event in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Our incredible speakers, Shay Franco-Clausen, Rocio “Chío” Núñez Ruiz, and Mayor Martha Cardenas-Singh, provided incredible insights as to how elected officials and community members can support survivors and address issues of gender-based violence in their comunidades.

Throughout our conversation, we were continuously moved by their wisdom. Our speakers emphasized the importance of meeting survivors where they are, providing wraparound services, and having even more Latinas running for office to represent their communities.
