El Programa Hispano

Un mensaje a nuestra comunidad: Con la publicación de los resultados electorales esta mañana, muchos estamos sintiendo una gran variedad de emociones: tristeza, miedo, preocupación, incertidumbre e ira, entre otras. Queremos reafirmar que no están solos. Deseamos que nuestra casita y familia en EPHC continue siendo un lugar de fortaleza y comunidad para todos ustedes. Como organización, El Programa se mantiene comprometido a fomentar un lugar de compasión, conexión, unidad y compromiso para promover las metas y el potencial de nuestro equipo y la comunidad. Nuestra misión de "promover la equidad racial y la justicia social a través del poder de nuestra cultura, comunidad y autodeterminación" nunca ha sido más importante. Desde 1982, hemos ayudado a cientos de miles de personas y familias a romper barreras sistémicas y mejorar sus vidas. Nuestros programas y servicios seguirán siendo basados en la justicia, esperanza y dignidad. Nuestra lucha por la justicia social seguirá iluminando nuestro camino y seguiremos avanzando, juntos, para proteger las vidas y los derechos de nuestra gente y el planeta. "No hay mayor fuerza que el poder de las personas unidas" –Dolores Huerta

To our EPHC Community: With the release of the election results this morning – many of us have been left feeling a myriad of emotions from sadness to fear, concern, uncertainty, anger among others. Know that you are not alone. Let our EPHC family and casita be a place of strength, light, and community for us all. Our mission to "advance racial equity and social justice through the power of our culture, community, and self determination" has never been more important. Since 1982, our organization has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals and families shatter systemic barriers and improve their lives. From lending a hand to our immigrant and refugee communities, to supporting individuals fleeing violence, our programs and services will continue to model justice, hope, and dignity in this time of uncertainty. To our team, partners, and community: we have been here before, we are still here, and we are not going anywhere. Our fight for social justice will continue to shine light on our shared strengths, and we will continue to move forward, together, to protect the lives and rights of our people and planet. “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” – Dolores Huerta

Thank you to Ricki Ruiz and all who joined us last night to kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It was a powerful evening and we look forward to continuing to raise awareness and honoring those affected by DV. https://lnkd.in/g7wgASnR

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is observed every October and it aims to raise awareness about the widespread issue of domestic violence, educate our communities on prevention, and support survivors. During this month, El Programa Hispano will be dedicated to honoring those affected by DV, promote resources, and encouraging action to end the cycle of violence. We will also host various events throughout October to bring awareness to our communities, empower individuals to stand against domestic violence, and to raise funds to continue our work.

We are wrapping up this work week and National Community Schools Coordinator Appreciation Week highlighting Miguel Tandy, our SUN Site Manager at Wilkes Elementary School! Miguel was asked a funny question by a student this week “Mr. Tandy, if I do all my homework this week, do you think I’ll grow taller by Friday?”. It was such an innocent and funny question that reminded him of how they’re always making connections between what they hear and their own world. He loves to create opportunities for students to grow both inside and outside the classroom. He believes that every child deserves access to enrichment programs that support their learning and personal development, no matter their background. Being able to make a positive impact in their lives and seeing them succeed in different areas keeps is what keeps him motivated every day. #coordinatorsrock
