Who are the Jefas? 

This annual day of action and celebration of Latinas’ political power is only possible thanks to the collective efforts of partners and supporters. A Jefa is a Latina leader of an organization at the local or national level doing civic engagement for the Latinx community. Staying true to our purpose to elevate the voices of Latinas leading in the space, meet this year's Jefas.
