Latinas Represent: Empowering Latina Leaders Nationwide

August 9, 2024

At the start of 2024, re:power Fund partnered with Latinas Represent to launch an 8-week Latina Electeds Academy. This innovative program aimed to empower Latina elected officials across the country by enhancing their leadership skills and fostering a supportive community.

The academy brought together 33 Latina leaders for a series of virtual sessions that combined elements from re:power’s Women of Color Leadership Cohort and the Progressive Governance Academy. Designed to amplify leadership abilities while building connections and promoting continued growth, the program focused heavily on heart work—addressing the holistic needs of women of color to step into authentic, liberated leadership. Over eight weeks, participants explored topics such as power mapping, relational organizing, coalition building, and preventing burnout, equipping them with the tools they needed to excel in their roles.

Throughout the rest of the year, Latinas Represent will be sharing stories from the inaugural cohort members of the Elected Academy. Check out this message from Latinas Represent’s Executive Director, Stephanie Lopez, about the new program.

Grassroots Strategies

A Framework for Addressing Environmental Racism

Over the past year, our team researched the causes and impacts of environmental racism on Black, low-income and rural communities in the United States. We conducted a meta-analysis of existing literature on environmental racism and interviewed leaders in the environmental movement. Through these discussions, we identified important data gaps that are essential for dismantling infrastructures that perpetuate environmental injustice. We distilled critical insights from our qualitative data and developed a strategic framework for community-based organizations to effectively confront instances of environmental racism.
