We recently celebrated the graduation of our Academia de Conocimientos Básicos de Inmigración 2024, a program designed to educate and empower our immigrant community by expanding their knowledge and understanding of immigration policies that impact us directly or indirectly.

On June 21st, 2024, Castaway Portland once again hosted Fiesta of Hope, an annual fundraiser integral to the mission of Adelante Mujeres. This vibrant event brought together a diverse and enthusiastic crowd united in their support for empowering Latine women and their families. The night was nothing short of magical, filled with energy, heartfelt moments, and a profound sense of solidarity.

At Adelante Mujeres, we pride ourselves on being a lantern of hope for Latine women and their families in Washington County. This year, we took our commitment to inclusivity and solidarity further by participating in the Portland Pride Parade! This action reflects our unwavering support and celebration of our LGBTQ+ Latine immigrant community members.

As the academic year ended, our Adult Education program celebrated remarkable milestones: Martha Aidé García and Erika Rodríguez, founders of the adult classroom at Barnes Elementary School in the Beaverton School District, proudly earned their GEDs.

At Adelante Mujeres, we believe everyone has a responsibility to cultivate a peaceful community and a healthy planet. As an organization that focuses on the Latine and immigrant community in Oregon, we approach this matter with humility and hope, and acknowledge we are not experts on global issues.

Hope is to be found in joining with others in the struggle for a more just and peaceful world.  At Adelante Mujeres we believe that each of us has a role to play in creating peace and cultivating a healthy planet. Muchas gracias for being part of our community in 2023!
