Conferences and Events

Bringing Community Together

At HOPE events, something profound and beautiful happens. We see students getting guidance from leaders to chase meaningful, empowering careers. We see professionals across borders discussing strategies for amplifying Latina and community voices. We see leaders organizing their community members to push for equitable policy change.

HOPE events bring Latinas and our supporters together to learn, advocate, and celebrate. In these unique spaces, we strengthen our community ties and are reminded of all that we can achieve when we work together.

Latina History Day® Los Angeles

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.
