Honoring Latina Leadership: Recognizing Leaders via a Special Gala and Beyond
Because Latina leadership is one of our core values, we have always been committed to lifting up the leadership of women and girls, and we have also made strides in working with and celebrating the leadership of Latino men and boys. As we thought about having an event this year, things started to naturally come together. We realized there had not been an event in many years that focused on the contributions of Latinas.

Help immigrants protect their future with immi
Studies suggest that over 1.5 million undocumented immigrants may have existing immigration relief like family-based petitions, asylum, U visas, SIJS, and others available that they are not aware of.
That's why immi was created as a new free online tool to help immigrants in the U.S. easily screen for these options, find legal assistance, and protect their future.
But the tool won't work if we can't get it in the hands of the people who need it.
Please share widely!
