Civic & Social Organization - Los Angeles, California, United States
In call to action during the Chicanx movement, Latina staff and faculty from California State University, Northridge founded "Mujeres de la Raza" in the early 1970s, a women's group dedicated to promoting the success of young Latinas. As more community members began to join, the founding group formally changed its name to Comisión Femenil of the San Fernando Valley in 1991 joining the national organization, then known as "Comisión Femenil Mexicana Nacional."Today, Comisión Femenil of the San Fernando Valley is the longest surviving chapter of "Comisión Femenil," and continues to serve its community through advocacy, activism and female empowerment.
