Feminists for Racial, Economic, & Gender Justice: Women’s Foundation CA

Tamarindo

As we process the 2024 Election, we meet with our friends from the Women's Foundation of CA, a statewide, publicly supported foundation dedicated to achieving racial, economic, and gender justice by centering the experience and expertise of communities most impacted by systemic injustice. We speak to the organization's first Latine CEO, Bia Vieira and to Los Angles City Council Member and Women's Foundation Board Member, Eunisses Hernandez.

Bia Vieira is the Women’s Foundation California first Latine CEO, where she leads the Foundation’s work to advance gender, racial, and economic justice. The Foundation’s program strategy is focused on building community-based power through investing in nonprofit organizations, training community leaders in policy advocacy, connecting key partners, and mobilizing significant financial resources.

Eunisses Hernandez is a community organizer, a daughter of Mexican immigrants, and a

lifelong District 1 resident in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Highland Park, she led campaigns, coalitions, and commissions that transformed local and statewide policy before running for City Council in 2021. Since taking office in December 2022, Councilmember Hernandez has prioritized a Care First agenda that focuses on investing in community care, workforce development, social services, and harm-reduction programs that help make our neighborhoods safer and healthier places for all Angelenos.
