More than a luncheon. A movement. WomenSpeak has been reimagined —not simply as a luncheon, but as a community gathering where Women and allies come together to listen, learn, connect, speak, and act alongside partners shaping a more just and compassionate Los Angeles.
Listen.
Hear from thought leaders, practitioners, and women with lived experience shaping the future of housing, economic opportunity, and justice.
Learn.
Engage in interactive breakout sessions exploring today's most pressing issues facing women and families — and discover practical pathways toward change.
Connect
Build meaningful relationships with philanthropists, community leaders, advocates, and neighbors committed to strengthening our community.
Speak.
Share your perspective and help amplify women's voices through dialogue rooted in hospitality, dignity, and belonging.
Act.
Leave inspired with tangible opportunities to engage — through philanthropy, advocacy, volunteerism, partnership, and community leadership.
T H E B R E A K O U T TOPICS
Raising our collective voices — taking action together. Four interactive breakout sessions explore four pillars of our community action — each featuring special guests from partnering organizations doing this work on the ground.

Economic Empowerment
Survivor Justice
Safe homes are the foundation for healing, stability, and hope.
Workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and opportunity.
Nourishment, dignity, and reliable access for every family.
