This report summarizes the successful efforts to pass Measure L, the Children and Youth Health and Safety Act, in Sacramento in 2022.
In May, the Latina Futures 2050 Lab went to Sacramento to advocate for policy change to close the wage gap and ensure better health outcomes for women of color. As part of that work, on May 7 Latina Futures joined with community partner Hispanas Organized for Political Equity (HOPE) at their 30th Annual Latina Action Day.

The UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center came about, in large part, because of student voices and protests. Given our history, we stand committed to democratic dialogue and students’ ability to practice their First Amendment right on campus safely and without fear of retaliation. We condemn violence against students exercising free speech, and we condemn hate speech. The Chicano Studies Research Center is steadfast in its support of student activism for peace, human rights, and social justice.
Now available on the CSRC's YouTube channel is the Latina Futures: Transforming the Nation through Law and Policy highlight reel! Among the speakers in the video are Latina Futures 2050 Lab project leaders Sonja Diaz, founding director of the Latino Policy and Politics Institute, and Veronica Terriquez, CSRC director.
