Hispanic Federation mourns the passing of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a towering moral voice and tireless champion of justice for all people. Rev. Jackson dedicated more than six decades of his life to fighting for the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked — and in doing so, he changed the course of American history.

We are deeply grateful for Rev. Jackson’s enduring commitment to inclusivity. His Rainbow Coalition was a bold vision that brought together Black, Latino, Asian American, Native American, and White communities, along with workers, women, and LGBTQ Americans, under a shared belief that justice is indivisible. He understood that our struggles are interconnected, and he lived that belief. His voice is gone, but his charge remains.

Que descanse en paz. We extend our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and to all those who loved and were inspired by him.

I’ve learned that their little voices carry truths we can’t ignore, and when my daughter says she feels unsafe, I stop everything else and listen, because her fear is real, even when it seems small to the world, and teaching her to be polite over being protected isn’t love—it’s negligence, and I refuse to let that happen, so I step in, I set boundaries, I trust her instincts, and I make sure she knows that her feelings matter, that her safety is sacred, and that no one, no expectation, no societal rule will ever come before the promise I’ve made to guard her heart, her body, and her trust. 🛡️

Susie King Taylor is a name you should know. She's recognized as the first Black U.S. Army nurse during the Civil War and worked courageously alongside our founder, Clara Barton. Together, they cared for sick and wounded soldiers — work that helped lay the foundation for the American Red Cross.

Susie was also an educator and author, teaching children and adults how to read while supporting the military. After the war, she opened schools for African Americans in Georgia and became the first Black woman to publish a memoir about her experiences in the war.

As this February marks 100 years of commemorating Black history, we celebrate how Susie’s legacy, bravery and compassion continue to inspire and power our mission.

This , NASW honors the Black social workers who helped build the social work profession — yet whose contributions are too often overlooked. From anti-lynching advocate Ida B. Wells and civil rights icon and former NASW President Whitney M. Young Jr., to reproductive justice leader Naomi Gray and hospice care innovator Dr. Bernice Harper — Black social workers have long led movements for justice and care.

January is National Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month—a time to learn the truth, speak up, and take action.

Human trafficking often begins long before exploitation.
- 87% of youth trafficked for s*x experienced s*xual abuse first.
- Most victims are not abducted—they are targeted through manipulation, coercion, and broken trust.
- Many survivors appear to live “normal” lives, making trafficking easy to miss and hard to stop.

Awareness saves lives. Education creates protection.
This month, commit to learning the signs, sharing the facts, and standing up for those who cannot yet speak for themselves.

It's a time to honor what has ended, and what is quietly waiting to be born. This beautiful image perfectly captures the serene magic of this season—a moment to let go of the old and prepare our hearts for new beginnings.

What are you honoring today, and what new seeds are you planting for the coming year?
