In the garden of hope

Mujeres en Movimiento is a group based in Corona Queens, made up of women and their families, youth, children, and men who have come to enjoy the family atmosphere, focused on health and dance therapy.

This group was born within the International Immigrant Movement, which had its headquarters in Corona Queens from 2011 to 2018, leaving a deep mark on the lives of the inhabitants of Queens and the rest of NY. Mujeres en Movimiento began with the intention of its leader Veronica Ramirez, who was only looking for a place to exercise and thus try to get out of a severe depression, with the Tania Bruguera’s support and her tireless energy and ability to invent and perseverance was Gradually attracting other women and following the example of the Immigrant Movement International, maintaining free access for all members of the community who wish to come and participate, a space was created that is no longer held by the walls of a local, but rather it is part of the community itself, giving life to all its parks.

Mujeres en Movimiento practices Artivism, it has been the axis of many campaigns that range from marches against domestic violence, education, bicycle lines, participation in powerful community projects such as “El Festival del Pueblo” and the creation of the Bus del Pueblo, with Yazmany Arboleda, who has been an elemental part in the expansion of this constant movement.

The Women also participate in conversations, panels and activities that always have a component of movement, but above all of awareness of the participants.

With Mujeres en Movimiento, many women will be able to move from their situations of abuse and despair to a place that is not physical, but that goes beyond any space, a movement and a place that cannot be contained and that grows exponentially for the benefit of everyone with whom he connects in his constant activity that overflows with joy and brotherhood at every step.
