and she is passionate about building bridges that connect
national, state, and local organizations. In 2020 Emiliana
launched Women’s March Action, the 501(c)(4) political arm
of Women’s March Foundation. Personally, Emiliana is
proud to serve her Latino community and has also built
roots in the Jewish community, as she raises her family in
the Jewish faith.Emiliana's work is currently focused on three central issues:
increasing access to voting through the Defend Democracy
Project, protecting reproductive rights from right-wing
attacks, and the Feminist Street Initiative, a project of
Women's March Foundation to reclaim our streets and
historical memory by naming streets after powerful women
in history.
