A Recognition Rooted in Community

The Justice and Peace Advocacy Center (JPAC) is deeply honored to have received a Recognition Award from the State of Michigan during Latino Legislative Advocacy Day 2025 at the Capitol.

This powerful day was made possible through the leadership of the Hispanic/Latino Commission of Michigan, Mi Poder, Somos Votantes, and the Michigan Legislative Latino Caucus — who united over 130 advocates and more than 12 Latino-led organizations from across the state.

Together, we raised our voices for immigration justice, education equity, healthcare access, and so much more.

We accept this recognition with gratitude — not only as an organization, but on behalf of the families, youth, elders, and communities we serve and walk alongside in the journey toward justice and peace.

To everyone who shows up, speaks out, and organizes for lasting change: this honor belongs to you, too.
