PODEROSAS LEGISLATIVE SUMMIT 2024

 
 

Monday, September 23 & Tuesday, September 24 / National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) building 1 M Street SE, Washington, D.C., 20003

The Poderosas Legislative Summit, powered by Poder Latinx, brings together Latinas from across the country to celebrate and build upon our collective service to the Latinx community. From members of Congress to administration officials and emerging and established civic and social justice Latina leaders, the Poderosas Legislative Summit creates a space where bright, empowered Latinas can convene and support each other to continue to be trailblazers in their fields.

At our third annual action-oriented summit, we will discuss key issues surrounding the environment, immigration, and the economy and how they are impacting the lives of the Latinx community. We will build on the momentum of the Latina community, a growing and changing demographic with the energy and passion to make change for our communities when given the proper tools and information to be civically engaged. We will examine the barriers to civic participation in the face of the 2024 Presidential election and train young Latinas to become agents of change, committing to impactful actions and transformative change beyond the moment.

Together, we are creating opportunities for Latina youth and young adults to learn and lead in the civic engagement space, share their lived experiences, connect with community leaders and elected officials from key states, and address the existing gaps preventing our community from achieving its full potential.





 
 

It is my greatest pleasure to invite you to Washington, D.C. for our third annual Poderosas Legislative Summit, a Legislative Conference powered by Poder Latinx made for and by Latina civic and social justice leaders!

Since founding Poder Latinx in 2019, our mission has been clear: to empower Latinxs and Latinas to become a formidable voting force and to lead on issues that impact our community. This year, with a pivotal presidential election on the horizon, your presence and your voice are more important than ever. Civic engagement is the cornerstone of our democracy, and the right to vote is not just a privilege—it is a powerful tool to shape policies that impact us all. But even if you can’t vote, your role is vital. You are the heartbeat of our community—educating, mobilizing, and ensuring that every voice is heard.

By attending the 2024 Poderosas Legislative Summit, you are becoming a part of the growing network of Latina leaders and activists who are rising to power and seeking solutions to issues impacting our community. We invite you to join us as we develop the skills, resources, knowledge, and connections to become or continue be powerful agents of change. We look forward to seeing you in Washington, D.C.!

Sincerely, 

Yadira Sanchez
