“I thought I would end up dead. I never thought I would end up here.”

What a joy to celebrate 23 graduates from ’s Domestic Violence program in Los Angeles last week. These brave women broke the cycle of violence and are stepping into a new chapter of life.

One of our speakers at the event, a former graduate of the program, described her journey from surviving human trafficking and domestic violence to healing. She emphasized the importance of showing up for yourself on that path.

Her story is not unique. Domestic violence often begins with a generational cycle of violence and childhood trauma. Many survivors are isolated by their abusers and feel there is no way out.

That’s why the group therapy sessions in Amanecer’s program can be so powerful. Participants get the opportunity to see that they are not alone and build a support system, perhaps for the first time.

Our 9-12 month program also provides individual and group therapy and case management to guide them through their healing journey . That can mean anything from enrolling in school and finding a job to help with immigration visas and even emergency shelter.

All that means the graduates of this year’s program can stand confidently knowing they have options and support when they need it 🌿

If you or anyone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please know that you are not alone and help is available.

Her legacy lives on in the community she helped shape 🌵

A new mural in Tucson honors Lorraine Lee, a community leader whose work brought people together and helped create lasting change.

Lorraine spent 25 years with CPLC, creating opportunities for families across our communities. From expanding access to education and affordable housing to supporting young leaders and small businesses, she mobilized her community to respond to the needs of families.

This mural celebrates Lorraine’s dedication to her work. Her legacy and impact can still be seen in the lives she helped move forward.

Celebrating Our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters 🌵

Did you know?

The Las Vegas Paiute Tribe traces their ancestry back to the Tudinu people in 1100 AD and resides in what we now call Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite harsh conditions, they knew how to survive in the desert. Learn more at lvpaiute.gov.

Since 2013, the Quapaq Nation of Oklahoma has worked to clean up the toxic waste from more than 70 years of mining in Oklahoma. After more than 10 years of work, they are now herding cattle and cultivating wheat and corn. Read more about it at the Good News Network!

Learning about each other is the first step to growing closer in community.

So today, let’s take a moment to learn about our joys and our struggles—and how we can show up for each other.

Because we have a long way to go Hacia el Sol. But we’re still dreaming.

“All the challenges that we go through teaches us how to get strong.” 💛

At our Anniversary Celebration, Delma Herrera accepted the Cause for Change award and shared what those challenges have taught her.

She came to this country at five years old, not knowing the language. Years later, she would become an executive at Cox Communications and serve on the CPLC Board of Directors, including two years as Chair. But for Delma, giving back is personal. As a little girl, she watched CPLC help her aunt, a single mother raising her family. That experience stayed with her.

She returned to CPLC because she wanted to make sure another family could find that same kind of help when they needed it. Today, Delma continues to give her time, leadership and voice to that commitment.

We’re proud to honor Delma Herrera with the Change for Cause award and grateful for the years she has spent serving our communities.

Thank you to our sponsors APS, Hub, Southwest, Spectrum, 101.9 La Campesina, La Tricolor, La Voz, and Univision

He made the numbers impossible to ignore 📊

At our Anniversary Celebration, we honored Sol Trujillo with the Legacy for Change award for the work he has done to bring Latino contributions to our economy into focus.

Sol has advised two U.S. presidents on trade policy and built an international career as a business leader. Along the way, he has used data and his influence to make sure the economic contributions of Latinos are part of the conversation.

When the numbers tell the story, it becomes harder to overlook the businesses, workers and communities behind them.

Congratulations to Sol Trujillo, our Legacy for Change honoree. We’re proud to celebrate the work he continues to do.

We are so proud of our CPLC LUCES staff!

They were recognized with the Latino Pride Alliance Community of Color Award – Con Orgullo, Corazón y Valor 💐

Each day, our team helps people find new hope for a happy, healthy, and long life. And through initiatives like the Manos de Esperanza and New Perspectives support groups, we are challenging stereotypes and knocking down stigmas of what it means to live with HIV/AIDS.

Duvia Lozano and the LUCES team deserve this recognition. Thank you so much for all you do in our community to change perspectives and help people find new hope 🦋🌱

“That’s the one thing no one can take away: hope.” 💛

At our Anniversary Celebration, Alicia Núñez put it simply. She spoke about a student working toward her dreams while a college tuition balance stood in the way.

A balance on a bill can prevent a student from reaching the finish line, unless someone steps in to help. That's what your support means for a student like her.

Thank you to our sponsor Arizona Public Service - APS, HUB International, Southwest Airlines, AZ DC Consulting, Wells Fargo, Tiffany & Bosco, P.A., Salt River Project, PNC, BMO U.S., Arizona Complete Health, Road Foward, UnitedHealthcare, CVS Health, guests, and everyone in our community who joined us for the evening to help keep those doors open.

The people who keep this work moving don’t always find themselves in the same room 💛

Our 57th Anniversary Dinner gave us that chance.

Throughout the year, our partners, supporters and staff see different parts of the work happening across our communities. The Dinner brought us together to recognize the role each plays in that work.

At the heart of the evening was a shared commitment to the communities we serve and the belief that we all have a role in helping them thrive.

Thank you to our sponsors Arizona Public Service - APS, HUB International, Southwest and to everyone who joined us and continues to believe in the work we’re doing together.
