Latinas en Poder was born out of our collective concerns for the devastating realities faced by Latina immigrant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing deaths, poverty, and violence against women and girls were central to the conversations we held with Latinas across the United States. From these dialogues, it became clear that we needed to act. We initiated a process to engage and organize Latina organizations in the U.S., creating spaces for collaboration, reflection, and resistance.
A Redefined Strategic Vision Towards Transnationalism
Latinas en Poder established a permanent dialogue on the root causes of migration as a result of Vice President Kamala Harris´s visit to Guatemala in 2021.
(To learn more about this process, please review the Transnational Summit Declaration under the Programs and Vehicles section).

Our purpose is to continue strengthening the organization's leadership and that of your organization as the highest expression of political sovereignty.
The objectives are to join your efforts to strengthen the social capital you have already built. Furthermore, I aim to integrate your knowledge, territorial resilience, and power into training, capacity-building, and advocacy strategies that challenge the inequalities that have historically marked our region and, above all, women.
Residency Objectives
During my stay, I propose to work with you on three priority areas:
Articulate: Strengthen communication and support networks between organizations in Mexico and the Northern Triangle.
Influence: Transform local demands into impactful narratives that reach political decision-making spaces.
Sustain: Co-create tools and protocols that strengthen your autonomy and protect women leaders from political and structural violence.
Calendar and Key Dates:
To ensure effective collaboration, I propose the following initial timeline:
Active Listening Phase: Second week of February. (I would like to schedule a brief meeting with you during this period.)
Joint Strategy Implementation, Impact Assessment, and Closure: Second week.
I am convinced that power is not granted, but rather built collectively. For this reason, I am available to work with you to define how this residency can best serve your organization's institutional objectives.
I look forward to your feedback to coordinate an initial meeting, either virtual or in person. It is an honor to walk alongside you on this path toward social justice and women's empowerment.
