Latina Coalition 15th Annual Brunch
Latina Coalition 15th Annual Brunch: From Our Roots, Renewal Blooms
A path, a protest, and a promise…
This year's brunch theme:From Our Roots, Renewal Blooms is more than a phrase, it is a path, a protest, and a promise. In a time when the ground beneath us shifts with widening wage gaps, eroding rights, and deepening divides, Latinas stand at the intersection of challenge and change. Our economic power is stifled, our voices too often dismissed, and our communities targeted, yet still, we rise. Through sisterhood, civic courage, and generational wisdom, we plant seeds of justice in every space we enter. Even as the winds move against us, we do not wither. We grow. We bloom. And we claim our place, in every room, at every table, in every sector, where power must be shared and futures reimagined.
On Saturday, November 9, 2025, join us for the 15th Annual Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley Brunch, a gathering that unites leaders, allies, and changemakers in a powerful show of solidarity. Together, we will honor the deep roots that ground us and the renewal that fuels our collective future. Expect an afternoon filled with the vibrant energy of a community that refuses to be silenced. Whether you’ve walked with us for years or are joining for the first time, your presence helps strengthen the movement for equity, opportunity, and lasting change.
