The Institute of Popular Education of Southern California (IDEPSCA) is a nonprofit community based organization whose purpose is to promote self-determination in the Latino community in Southern California politically, culturally, and economically using popular education methodology. We promote the development of collective solutions to community problems. Originally started by domestic workers members of the organization in 2011, Mujeres in Acción is now a program that focuses on the interests and needs of immigrant women through weekly meetings, outreach, education, advocacy, and organizing. Mujeres en Acción values the paid and unpaid work of all women and seeks to support them in their personal, community and family development.
