NJ Latinas continue to face one of the widest wage gaps in the nation. Hispanic Women's Resource Centers (HWRCs) provide critical pathways to economic stability, workforce development, and self-sufficiency for women and families across New Jersey.
A proposed 75% budget reduction would eliminate funding for half of these essential centers, putting vital services and opportunities at risk.
Our communities need continued investment not cuts. Join us in urging state leaders to restore the full $2.1 million in funding for HWRCs.

🛑 Restore the $2.1M for HWRCs.
