MANA de Imperial Valley recently returned from celebrating the 50th Anniversary of MANA National, and we couldn’t be prouder of the work our non-profit continues to do in the Imperial Valley. It was a great opportunity to connect with chapters from across the country and learn more about MANA’s rich history and impactful legacy. #mana50 #mananational #imperialvalley

Today we would like to bring awareness on Latina Equal Pay Day;?Latinas are paid only 57 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This means that Latinas must work nearly 22 months to earn what their counterparts earn in 12. Latinas?are one of the fastest growing most powerful groups in the United States.?Latinas excel in every industry, despite this we continue to face a pay gap. This is why we must continue to speak out and raise awareness. #LatinaEqualPayDay #LatinasInLeadership #PayEquity #EqualPayForAll #pagame
