In the U.S., the National Women’s History Alliance chooses its own theme for Women's History Month each year. This year’s theme is centered on “Women who advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion.” “During 2024, we recognize the example of women who are committed to embracing everyone and excluding no one in our common quest for freedom and opportunity. They know that people change with the help of families, teachers and friends, and that young people in particular need to learn the value of hearing from different voices with different points of view as they grow up.” Check out the link below for a bountiful theme tool kit. https://lnkd.in/eeJpb4V6

This year's theme for Women’s History Month is "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion."    Women have always been at the forefront of the fight for equity, diversity, and inclusion. From the suffragettes to the civil rights activists to the women who are leading the fight for gender equality today, women have been the ones who have pushed our society forward.   This Women's History Month, I want to take a moment to inspire you to celebrate the women who are working to make our world a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive place. These women are the ones who are fighting for equal pay, equal opportunity, and equal representation for all women. They are the ones who are working to break down the barriers that have held women back for so long.    I am proud to work for a company that is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Link Logistics is a leader in this area, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented and dedicated women.   Here are a couple of ways that Link is leading the way in DEI: We have a Women's Leadership Council, Ascend, which is a group of senior women who are committed to advancing the careers of women at the company. Link is a signatory to CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, which is a pledge to take action to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.   It is an honor to be a part of a company that is committed to making a difference in the lives of women.    This Women's History Month, I encourage you to learn more about the women who are working to make our world a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive place.     Check out this article for more on this year’s theme. #lifeatlink #spacetogrow #link #industrialrocks #womenshistorymonth #womenleadership

NEW REPORT by the Center for Effective Philanthropy 👉 “Bridging the Gap: The Role of Intermediary Funders” At WomenStrong International, we know the power of strong partnerships in making lasting change. As an intermediary funder, we work hand-in-hand with grassroots organizations to “bridge the gap” between communities and larger funding sources, ensuring that resources reach those on the frontlines of the fight for gender equality. A new report by the Center for Effective Philanthropy highlights how intermediary funders like WomenStrong help build trust, strengthen relationships, and increase impact by listening to grantee partners and responding to their needs. 🌍✨ Together, we’re driving social change from the ground up, empowering women and girls, and transforming communities. 🔗 Read more about the role of intermediary funders in advancing equity and justice: https://lnkd.in/eHTQ-5yC #WomenStrong #IntermediaryFunder #Philanthropy #SocialJustice #GenderEquality #Grantmaking #BridgingTheGap

As we embrace the beauty of fall, we, as Indigenous women, recognize the powerful lessons embedded in each season of change. Just like the leaves that gracefully transform, we too adapt and grow, learning to honor the diverse differences that enrich our communities. In this season of transition, we understand that embracing change means supporting one another and believing in the shared mission for justice and equity for all Native Americans. Together, we create harmony, recognizing that no one is greater than another and that we are all related. This fall, let us reflect on the importance of supporting Indigenous-led programs and organizations, essential to the work our collective societies need. By nurturing these initiatives, we honor our wisdom and resilience, ensuring that our voices and traditions continue to thrive. If you believe in our mission, please consider a donation of any amount. Text "GIVE NATIVE" to 44-321 or visit our website to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gVYdEM32. As we shift seamlessly from one season to the next, may we come together in our commitment to build community, uplift each other, and embrace the harmony that emerges when we support and believe in each other’s missions.🪶 #PleaseSHARE #SupportIndigenousWomen #SupportNativeLed #JusticeForNativeAmericans #EmbraceChange #CommunityBuilding #Equity #FallSeason #AllAreRelated #HappyFallSeason #WindsofChange #SpiritofChange
