This #memberMonday, we are proud to spotlight our new President Michelle Estrada-Lopez!⠀
⠀
Michelle has volunteered though JLA for the past 11 years serving on numerous committees. Additionally, she previously served as the Community Vice President and Director of Training & Membership.⠀
⠀
Michelle moved to Albuquerque for her first civil engineering job after graduating from New Mexico State University with both her MS and BS. JLA has helped Michelle to advance her career as a Project Manager, brought her strong community ties, fostered confidence in her ability to meet challenges with failure and success, and, luckily, built great friendships with women she would never have otherwise crossed paths with.⠀
⠀
Michelle is raising two children, Donovan (8) and Rohan (2) with her spouse, Daniel. She loves Jazzercise and family dinner night with her best friend’s family on Wednesdays.

One hundred years ago today, the United States Congress ratified the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. But not all women. To win the right to vote, White suffragists put the quest for gender equality ahead of racial equality, effectively selling out the interests of Black women. It took another 45 years before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 put a lawful end to racial discrimination in voting and granting political equity to those who were previously disenfranchised. Even then, Women of Color continued to face racial barriers such as passing voter registration tests.
.
Today, portions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 have been struck down, putting the enfranchisement of Women of Color in jeopardy. As we commemorate the ratification of the 19th Amendment, let’s also acknowledge the central role racism played in the suffrage movement and is still very much at play in this country. #JLBetterTogether #JuniorLeague #19thAmendment

Not sure what Juneteenth is?

More than 2 AND A HALF YEARS after the Emancipation Proclamation freed all Black people from slavery, Union soldiers finally delivered this news on June 19, 1865.

Texas was the first US state to declare Juneteenth an officially recognized holiday. Only 4 states do not currently recognize Juneteenth as a state or ceremonial holiday. It's been recognized as an official state holiday in NM since 2006, but today Albuquerque City Council members voted unanimously to declare it an annual holiday; the flags will be lowered and many companies are closing in observance.

"Juneteenth is a day of reflection, a day of renewal, a pride-filled day. It is a moment in time taken to appreciate the African American experience. It is inclusive of all races, ethnicities and nationalities - as nothing is more comforting than the hand of a friend."

On June 15, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. "Nearly half the states have no legal protection for LGBTQ employees. Now, the federal law will protect employees in those states from firing and other adverse employment decisions made on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity." This is a landmark decision for the protection of LGBTQ people against employment discrimination and we honor the incredible significance of this decision. We also acknowledge that there is still much work to be done to protect the rights and lift up the visibility of the LGBTQ community. Learn more about the ruling by following the link in our bio.
