Our Policy, Advocacy, Leadership, in Action Program (PALA), is an advocacy 3-day boot camp held twice a year, specifically catered to Latinas. Our May 2024 cohort will examine policy advocacy and civic engagement through voting and will focus on the various facets of policy advocacy:
Identifying and engaging with elected officials
Running for office
Understanding the different levels of government
Engaging with media as an advocate
Learning foundational principles of community organizing
Advocating for yourself and others
Exploring various pathways to civic engagement
Collaborating through multi-ethnic coalition building
Participating in civic boards and commissions
Latinas already know the various issues that must be prioritized within their communities. Through this program, Latinas will gain the tools, confidence, and network to engage in advocacy work at a policy level. PALA provides the necessary tools for Latinas to impact each of their communities significantly.
