💡As Latinas, our voices matter! As research reflects, we have so much to lose when we put ourselves out there, against the wall of systemic racial challenges. Yet, we are resilient because we have the ever-present deep determination to achieve equity and justice. I implore anyone interested in understanding just how blatant the challenges are to hear this interview of Dr. Patricia Campos-Medina with Mark J. Bonamo of #NJNow. Dr. Campos-Medina is fierce in using her voice for women's justice, and just as determined in taking a stand to self-empower, ensuring access and inclusion for herself as a candidate running for office. It is simply unacceptable to be a woman who must face men who are both physically and organizationally blocking her from access to democracy. ⁉️Hermanas, what are your thoughts? My view: blocking experienced multicultural women from their potential to run government, which directly impacts the lives of people, communities, education, health care, small businesses, corporations, etc., means that certain important issues involving women ultimately don't get addressed with urgency or importance.

Voice matters...your voice matters. We applaud Dr. Patricia Campos-Medina for her voice and the stand she is taking to self-empower, ensuring access and inclusion for herself as a candidate running for office. It is simply unacceptable to be a woman who must face men who are both physically and organizationally blocking her from access to democracy. More importantly, blocking experienced women and multicultural women from their potential to run government, which directly impacts the lives of people, communities, education, health care, small businesses, corporations, etc., means that certain important issues involving women ultimately don't get addressed with urgency or importance. Note: Latina Surge National 501c3 nonprofit is an educational and charitable organization. It is non-political and non-partisan in its mission to advocate and educate for the advancement of women, most especially underrepresented and underserved women, across all areas in society. We encourage our members and allies to share stories of self-empowerment, especially for multicultural women who continue to face barriers and take a stand to define access and inclusion for themselves based on the merits of their experience and aptitude.
