This past month, across that nation, Latine people were celebrated and praised for their contributions to this nation. Yet, we continue to see the disparities among our community. There is still work to be done.

We welcomed a couple of extra special guests to our building today. In early September, Washington County became the first county in Oregon to vaccinate 80% of its adults. To celebrate this accomplishment, and to see the grassroots vaccination efforts in action, Governor Kate Brown and Chair of Washington County, Kathryn Harrington, visited Adelante Mujeres during a mobile vaccination event.

Trusted community advocates are invaluable, especially when recognizing the past trauma individuals might have experienced with government agencies or in the healthcare system. Through coalition building Promotores and Navegadoras have been able to advocate for immigrant rights at the County level and health equity at the community level.

Peter Eickhardt from Great.com interviewed Bridget Cooke, Adelante Mujeres Executive Director & Co-founder, as part of their 'Great.com Talks With...' podcast.

Guest blogger, Kaely Summers, interviews Adelante Mujeres staff about their experiences getting the COVID-19 vaccine and talks about why it’s more important than ever to live in solidarity with one another.

This year we are highlighting the front-line responders, health professionals, community volunteers, transport and logistics managers, scientists and more — women who are making critical contributions to address the COVID-19 outbreak we have been living with for almost a year.

Irma works with children at a school in Beaverton. Due to COVID-19, they closed in April for five straight months, and they don't receive pay during the closures. They re-opened in July, but have to close for fourteen days each time there is a COVID case in the building. That's happened three times since they re-opened in July.

Thanks to funding from Metro and the Oregon Cultural Trust, Adelante Mujeres has created a cultural art exhibit in their building titled Migration is Beautiful // La Migracion es Bella. In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to share segments of a few of the Latina stories featured in the exhibit.

“We understand that providing flexible funding is key in allowing Adelante Mujeres to deliver critical resources to our Latinx community.”

The Oregon Work Relief Fund provides direct cash assistance to immigrant Oregonians who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are excluded from federal and state safety-nets. Adelante Mujeres is honored to be part of the many culturally-specific organizations who will be supporting community members through this process.

During times of crisis like these, we are reminded to also take a step back and count our blessings. Thank you to our leading supporters: Legacy Health, Wells Fargo Bank, First Tech Credit Union, and CareOregon for your true heart and philanthropy.

For many people, staying healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic is accomplished by social distancing and working from home. But what about essential workers who can’t stay home — people who have to keep working in order to keep food on their family’s table? This is what Leobardo López and Alma Hernandez are currently facing.

Due to increased public health concerns raised by COVID-19, we’ve decided to cancel Fiesta of Hope. We’re sad about this decision but feel it is best to ensure the safety and health of our guests, volunteers, staff and community.

These days it’s difficult to avoid what has become almost a mantra in the political news:  ‘quid pro quo’. Either there was or there wasn’t ‘quid pro quo’.  This for that.  Something in return for another thing.

An exciting project is in the works for the main hallway in our new building!

Dia de los Muertos is a day for you and your loved ones. We want you, dead or alive (preferably alive), to join us in learning about how to make a magical altar or as we say in Spanish, “Ofrenda”.

As we wrapped up the 2019 Forest Grove Farmers Market season, we went out with a bang as we celebrated Dia de los Muertos with our wonderful community members. Here are a few moments from the celebration!

On September 26, 2019, Adelante Mujeres was recognized at Portland Business Alliance’s A Place With No Ceiling event, celebrating those who advance the next generation of women leaders.
