We are so proud of our Founder and Executive Director, Denise Benavides, who is now officially

As a community centered organization, La Monarca Foundation is committed to serving families with care, dignity, and compassion. This milestone strengthens our ability to support our community holistically, especially during outreach events, youth programs, family services, and community initiatives.

Mental health matters. Early support saves lives.
And we are honored to continue this work with intention and heart 💛

📌 Mental Health First Aid is a non-clinical, evidence-based certification focused on early intervention and resource connection.

La Monarca Foundation expresses profound sorrow over today’s tragic shooting at the ICE office in Dallas, in which migrants were among those killed and injured.

We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the migrants who lost their lives, and our prayers and wishes for healing to those wounded. Their lives hold inherent dignity and value, and their suffering must not be forgotten.

This violent act wounds not only the individuals directly affected, but entire communities that live in fear of hate and hostility. No human being should ever be subject to such senseless aggression simply because of their status or origins.

Furthermore, in this moment of grief, we urge political leaders, public figures, and all members of society to reject rhetoric that dehumanizes migrants, immigrants, or any marginalized group. Words have power and too often, inflammatory speech lays the ground for real harm.

As La Monarca Foundation, we recommit ourselves to standing alongside immigrant communities, working toward safety, justice, and dignity. Let us unite not in division, but in shared humanity, so that no family ever again endures tragedy born from hatred.

La Monarca Foundation esta en Solidaridad con las Protestas en Los Ángeles y Dallas: La Deportación es Violencia Decimos Basta YA
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Dallas, TX — La Fundación La Monarca se solidariza plenamente con las protestas que están ocurriendo en Los Ángeles, Dallas y en todo el país. Apoyamos a nuestra gente que se está levantando para exigir justicia, dignidad y libertad.

Queremos ser claros:
Estamos en contra de ICE.
Estamos en contra de la deportación.
Estamos en contra de la separación y criminalización de nuestra comunidad.

Lo que hace ICE arrancando familias, deteniendo a padres, deportando a jóvenes y atacando a los más vulnerables no solo está mal.
Es violencia.
Es trauma. Es un ataque directo al corazón de nuestras comunidades.

En La Monarca Foundation creemos en el poder de nuestra gente. Nacimos de la creencia de que todas las familias merecen vivir sin miedo. Y sabemos que hoy la gente está marchando no solo con coraje, sino con amor por sus familias, por su cultura, por su futuro.

Apoyamos estas protestas. Apoyamos a nuestra comunidad. Y creemos que este es un momento para la unidad, no la división. No podemos permitir que el miedo o la desinformación nos dividan. Seamos o no documentados, seamos Afro Americanos o Latinos, recién llegados o nacidos aquí somos una sola comunidad.

Que nuestro amor sea fuerte, nuestro mensaje claro y nuestra solidaridad inquebrantable.

A nuestra gente en las calles: los vemos, los honramos, estamos con ustedes.
A quienes sufren en silencio: no están solos.
A quienes aún dudan: ahora es el momento de unirnos.

Somos el pueblo. Y no nos quedaremos callados.

Con fuerza y solidaridad,
La Monarca Foundation

Fundadora y Directoria Ejecutiva

La Monarca Foundation Stands in Solidarity with Protests in Los Angeles and Dallas: Deportation Is Violence We Say No More
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Dallas, TX — La Monarca Foundation stands in full solidarity with the protesters rising up in Los Angeles, Dallas, and across the country. We support the people who are demanding justice, dignity, and freedom for our communities.

We want to be clear:
We are against ICE.
We are against deportation.
We are against the separation and criminalization of our people.

What ICE continues to do ripping families apart, detaining parents, deporting youth, targeting vulnerable communities is not just wrong. It is violence. It is trauma. It is an attack on the soul of our communities.

At La Monarca Foundation, we believe in the power of our people. We were founded on the principle that no one is illegal on stolen land. And we know that right now, people are marching not just out of anger, but out of love for their families, for their culture, for their future.

We support these protests. We support our people. And we believe this is a moment for unity, not division. We cannot let fear or misinformation divide us. Whether documented or undocumented, Black or Brown, newly arrived or born here we are one community.

Let us be loud in our love, clear in our commitment, and unshakable in our solidarity.

To our people in the streets: we see you, we honor you, we stand with you.
To those hurting in silence: you are not alone.
To those who still hesitate: now is the time to come together.

We are the people. And we will not be silent.

In strength and solidarity,
La Monarca Foundation
