Registration for our annual conference will close on September 9th. Be sure to register today! "Promotoras Paving the Way and Leaving a Legacy of Transformation" will be the premier conference by and for promotoras.  It is a gathering focused on learning, sharing, and community building that we look forward to every year. “Having attended almost every conference, I return every year because it brings together people from various regions, states, and even outside the United States. The conference is dynamic and put together by a great leadership team that includes Visión y Compromiso staff, agency leaders, and promotoras from various regions. It is also a conference packed with information and resources. And of course, it includes fun! I save the date on my calendar for the next conference as soon as it is announced. That way I am always there. I look forward to seeing you this October in Los Angeles!”  —Maria D. Gallardo, Visión y Compromiso

Women’s Equality Day is celebrated to honor the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, passed in 1920, which granted women the right to vote in the United States. Today, we honor the lives and sacrifices of women who sought to change the Constitution to ensure women's right to vote. And we honor the promotoras who have paved the way to ensure Latinos use their right to vote. How else can we celebrate? Register to vote! Plan to support your communities in knowing about the upcoming general elections. And vote on Tuesday, November 5th. You can also read President Biden's Proclamation on Women’s Equality Day, 2024. Here's an excerpt: "One hundred and four years ago, American women won the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, bringing us closer to living up to our Nation’s most fundamental values of dignity, fairness, freedom, and equality. On Women’s Equality Day, we recognize the courage of generations of visionaries who fought tirelessly for the sacred cause of women’s suffrage and all those who continue to work toward a more equitable future for women and girls in America." "The 19th Amendment marked a critical milestone in our Nation’s history, but it did not guarantee the right to vote for all. For many women of color, that right would not be secured until decades later when the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965."
