Our host Raíz, a Planned Parenthood program, shares their work building power in Latino communities and expanding access to care in Michigan
About this Event

Join us as Raíz, a program of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, shares how they are building power within Latino communities and advancing access to reproductive health care across Michigan.

About the Presenters:

The Raíz program with Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan is a community organizing and leadership development initiative that works in partnership with Latinx communities across Michigan to expand access to health care and build collective power.

Raíz believes that when Latino communities are equipped with culturally relevant information, leadership opportunities, and organizing tools, they can build the power needed to shape policies, expand access to care, and defend their rights. By investing in community-led organizing—through education, storytelling, civic engagement, and advocacy—Raíz strengthens long-term power at the local, electoral, and legislative levels. This, in turn, leads to more equitable health outcomes and ensures that those most impacted are leading the fight for reproductive freedom and justice.

About the Latino Community Coalition:

Vision: A West Michigan where a united Latino community thrives culturally, economically, and socially.

Mission: Serve as a unifying force for the equitable advancement of Latinos in West Michigan

  1. Equity and Inclusion
