June 12 marked the one-year anniversary of the tragedy in Orlando
The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda released the following statement:
"One year ago today, 49 innocent lives were taken by a gunman at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. NHLA stands in solidarity with our LGBTQ and Latino/x communities to mourn, honor, and remember those lost, injured, and traumatized in the only mass murder of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in this country.
"Sadly, the majority of the over 100 people killed or injured, were also Latino/x. Today, the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, a coalition of 45 of the nation's preeminent Latino advocacy organizations, remembers those who perished and pledges to honor their lives through our work.
Nearly half of the victims were Puerto Rican. Others were Cuban-American, Dominican-American, Mexican-American, Salvadoran, Ecuadoran, Venezuelan, Afro-Latino, and from other Latino/x communities, and almost all were lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ). Over half were under 30, with the youngest being just 18 years old. Some were undocumented."

12:30 - 1:30pm (Central)
Join us for a webinar on the results and impact of Casa de Esperanza's OVW Outreach to Culturally Specific Potential Grantees project. Through this project, Casa de Esperanza provided information to potential grantees about all OVW grant programs and highlight opportunities for organizations to apply, and provided information, resources and organizational development support for stronger applications from potential grantees that address the culturally specific needs of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking victims. Presenters will discuss the project deliverables, provide a summary of regional trainings and technical assistance strategies, and review project outcomes.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be better able to:
- identify Casa de Esperanza's project's purpose and deliverable,
- assess the project's outcomes,
- and develop and enhance training and technical assistance strategies for culturally specific and community-based organizations based on the learning of the project.
Presenters:
Maritza Valdez, Grants Manager, Casa de Esperanza: National Latin@ Network
Sarah Khan, Project Specialist, Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence

Jueves, el 22 de junio, 2017
1 - 2:30 de la tarde (hora del este)
El abuso a los ancianos o personas de la tercera edad es un problema común en nuestra sociedad pero del que poco se habla. Esto es particularmente difícil porque las víctimas/sobrevivientes de este tipo de abuso son casi siempre parte de una población invisible presente en todas las culturas, géneros, orientación sexual, estatus migratorio, etc. En este seminario web, la presentadora discutirá las necesidades específicas de Latin@s víctimas del abuso de ancianos, ya que esta población continúa estando poco representada en estudios y en la práctica diaria. La presentadora compartirá soluciones para resolver esta falta y ejemplos de colaboraciones exitosas para responder a este problema satisfactoriamente.
Presentadoras:
Heidi Notario, Casa de Esperanza: Red Nacional Latina
