VOCES de la Comunidad Conference 2026

April 30 @ 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

Join advocates, survivors, artists, and service providers for a powerful gathering centered on healing, culture, and community. This year’s theme uplifts survivor voices and explores how art—through dance, poetry, visual arts, and music—can inspire healing, resistance, and transformation.

VOCES de la Comunidad is a bilingual event. Workshop presentations will be presented in either Spanish or English. Interpretation services will be provided.

Together, we will reflect, connect, and reimagine survivor-centered practices rooted in culture and led by community.

Celebrate resilience. Honor lived experiences. Strengthen our collective commitment to healing and justice.

About Las Cafeteras

Las Cafeteras, born and raised east of the Los Angeles River, blend roots music with Afro-Mexican rhythms, electronic beats, and powerful lyrics that reflect their community’s stories and vision for a more inclusive world. Using traditional instruments like the jarana, requinto, quijada, and tarima, they honor cultural traditions while creating a modern sound. They sing in five languages—English, Spanish, Spanglish, Love, and Justice—believing everyone understands at least one.

Sponsorship of VOCES de la Comunidad is an investment in culturally specific services for Latine survivors of domestic, sexual, and trafficking violence. Sponsors receive visibility but more importantly, they stand publicly alongside survivors to show their support for survivors and their commitment to ending domestic and sexual violence.

Sponsors receive visibility – but more importantly, they stand publicly alongside community resilience:
