Joyce Roys-Aguilera Testimonial

Joyce Roys-Aguilera, Program Manager at The California Endowment, reminds us that true change cannot happen in isolation. At a time when immigrant communities, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and those seeking reproductive healthcare face mounting attacks, FIERCE Advocates continues to be a trusted partner and vital resource. Their deep connection to Black and Latinx families means they are not only holding space for healing and advocacy but also building knowledge, leadership, and wealth within the community.

This kind of partnership is essential. FIERCE nurtures resident leaders, helps families see and embrace their power, and channels that collective strength toward systems change. Supporting FIERCE means investing in generational impact and ensuring that communities most affected by inequities remain at the forefront of solutions.
