Helping Nonprofits Improve the Quality of Life

Helping Nonprofits Improve the Quality of Life

By Anne Constable

For The New Mexican | Posted: Monday, November 28, 2016 11:30pm

Mary Chavez had the good fortune to be born into one of the oldest and best-known families in Santa Fe.

She’s the 16th generation of her clan to live in New Mexico. Among her five siblings are at least two others well-known in the community: Fabian Chavez III was the longtime head of the city’s Parks Division and Joey Chavez, an actor and playwright, is the chairman of the drama department at the New Mexico School for the Arts.

Mary Chavez, like her brothers and sister, was raised to serve the city of her birth. The senior vice president and manager at First National Santa Fe Bank on the Plaza, she has spent decades as a member of various nonprofit boards, helping them to raise money for programs and secure capital outlay funds from the state Legislature.

Latina Equal Pay Day Twitter Storm

Latina Equal Pay Day Twitter Storm — Tuesday, November 1 @ 2:00 pm ET

Latina Equal Pay Day — the day when Latina pay catches up to that of White, non-Hispanic men from the previous year — is being observed on November 1, 2016. More than 50 years after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Latinas typically earn only 54 cents for every dollar earned by White, non-Hispanic men and must work nearly 23 months to earn what white men earn in 12 months. Indeed, given that this is the last “Equal Pay Day” observance of the year, Latinas must typically work longer than … everyone. This disparity hurts not only Latinas, but also the families and communities they support. In 2016, this is unacceptable. We need to act now and let everyone know that we support #LatinaEqualPay and we VOTE! Join the #LatinaEqualPay Day Twitter Storm on November 1 at 2:00 pm ET!

WHAT: #LatinaEqualPay Day Twitter Storm

WHEN: Tuesday, November 1 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET (1:00 pm CT/12:00 pm MT/11:00 am PT)

WHERE: Twitter, using the primary hashtag #LatinaEqualPay and secondary hashtags #Trabajadoras, #EqualPay and #LatinxEqualPay.
