Latina History Day® Los Angeles
Held annually on the second Friday in March, this event recognizes and celebrates the historic and current achievements of Latinas during Women’s History Month, while embracing the rich diversity of the Latina experience. From high school students to professionals, all are welcome to take part in forums and workshops on career advancement, current community issues, and financial empowerment. Get inspired and energized by our keynote speakers and make connections with leaders and small business owners at our Comadre Network.
Latina Action Day® Sacramento
Launched in 1994, is the only statewide conference that centers the voices and lived experiences of Latinas at policymaking tables. Each year, hundreds of leaders from every region of California come together to engage directly with elected officials, share perspectives, and discuss policies that shape our state.
Through town halls, public hearings, and workshops, HOPE provides participants with opportunities to strengthen their networks, build social capital, and connect across diverse communities. In these spaces, we honor the trailblazing leadership of Latinas while advancing civic engagement and collective action to strengthen our democracy for the benefit of all Californians.

The Anniversary Awards Dinner is our annual gala recognizing the commitment of HOPE’s community partners and supporters. At the event, we honor outstanding leaders with our Ray of HOPE and Spirit of HOPE awards. The support we receive from this event sustains our programs and events, advocacy efforts, and research as we work to build political and economic power among leaders all across the United States.
