Elevating the Latina Experience

HOPE conducts nonpartisan research and develops data-driven policy insights that illuminate the economic and leadership contributions of Latinas and the broader impacts of economic participation and shared prosperity. Our work provides policymakers, business leaders, and communities with a clearer understanding of how expanding opportunity benefits the entire nation.

Here are some of the impacts of HOPE’s research:

Findings supported the creation of the California State Legislature’s Unseen Latinas Initiative, designed to strengthen data collection and identify solutions that improve economic mobility, leadership pathways, and educational attainment.
HOPE has presented findings on the economic status of Latinas in briefings with the California State Legislature, the California Governor’s Economic Forum, and the New York Latino Legislative Caucus, contributing to informed, evidence-based discussions.
Data on Latina representation has helped highlight qualified candidates for board and commission appointments at the federal, state, and local levels, contributing to a public sector that better reflects the communities it serves.
HOPE’s reports have shaped national conversations in major media outlets, providing reliable information that deepens understanding of workforce and leadership trends across all communities.
