Mujeres Latinas en Acción (Mujeres) announced that they have received a $60,000 grant for general operations and an additional $20,000 matching grant opportunity for each of the next two years from The Reva & David Logan Foundation. This award recognizes the impact of the organization’s social justice advocacy and is a call to others to join in funding the life-changing work we do. This multi-year investment comes at a critical time: Mujeres Latinas en Acción is using community-led mobilizing to assure Latina families are counted in the 2020 Census; to fight the rule changes to Public Charge; and to advocate for the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA) which expired amidst the federal government shutdown putting sexual assault program funding in jeopardy. The Foundation’s support will bolster the growth of Mujeres services and programming as they respond to the changing demographics of Latina families in Chicago’s southern and western neighborhoods and into the Western Suburbs. With an increase of resources in the suburbs, Mujeres Latinas en Acción can dedicate more time and energy to cultivating new partnerships, expanding community-engagement and developing outreach efforts with schools, health centers, churches and nonprofits.
