Hi Friend,

 

As the dust settles from the election we’re finding strength in our community. We believe in our power. We believe in the power of our people to protect and sustain our communities. We believe the power of women of color leading the way. And we believe that organizing and working together will get us closer to an economically just world. 

The coming months and years will not be easy. We must continue to work together to protect each other, protect our rights, and claw them back from those who seek to control us. Together, we will win. 


In Solidarity, 

Mica Whitfield and Ashley Panelli
Co-Presidents & CEOs

Spotlight

This month we kicked off our grassroots campaign to raise $40,000! We’ve already made incredible progress toward our goal! Over the next few weeks, we’ll ask you to chip in to help us cross the finish line. Every dollar you can give makes a difference and we know that when we work together, nothing can stop us from creating a world free from racial and gender discrimination and one where we all thrive.
