On this International Women's Day, WISN 12 News is celebrating and highlighting the women making a difference in our communities.
Co-author of Somos Latinas: Voices of Wisconsin Latina Activists Eloisa Gomez is one of the women making a difference.
Gomez joined Diana Gutierrez on 12 News at 11:00 to talk about her book that shares the story of 25 women with Wisconsin ties who have made a difference. She talks about why Latinas who have a rich history of community activism in the state rarely get their stories told.
As we are four weeks away from the 2023 spring election, Gomez is using her platform to encourage women to vote, specifically Latinas.
She is an active member of the nonpartisan League of Women Voters in Milwaukee County and talks about resources available for the community.

While the digital age brings opportunity, it also brings the risk of disparity. For example, did you know that of the total workers in artificial intelligence, only 22 percent are women?

Here are ways to create a better digital world for women and girls.
Most of us know or have heard of the Latino trailblazers like Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and Sylva Rivera – but we sometimes forget to highlight the youth activists who are currently fighting for a better future. In this blog, we highlight one such leader, climate change activist and co-founder of Zero Hour, Jamie Sarai Margolin.
On March 3, 2022, from 12-1 ET, LWV hosted a discussion featuring voices and perspectives of the League of Women Voters, SuperMajority, LULAC, and Black Voters Matter.
We covered the intersection of gender and race in the voting rights movement, fighting deliberate barriers to voting, and how to build community power, dismantle disinformation, and get out the vote in 2022.
