During #BlackHistoryMonth, let's reflect on the significance of representation. With 79% of youth in CHIL's residential program being Black, it's a reminder of the systemic challenges faced by Black communities. This data underscores the ongoing need for support and advocacy to empower Black youth and address racial disparities. #RepresentationMatters #EquityForAll #CovenantHouseIllinois *Based on FY24 Q2 data

Five WKKF grantees share their invaluable insights on centering racial equity within their organizational structures, practices and operations. In part one of this series, we dive into the internal racial equity journeys of diverse organizations: 🌟 ACCESS - Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services , a Michigan-based organization serving the Arab immigrant community. 🌟 Center for Children’s Law and Policy (CCLP), A Washington D.C. policy organization focused on juvenile justice reform. 🌟 Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, A community foundation in Buffalo, New York. 🌟 The Corps Network, A nationwide network of service organizations. 🌟 Union for Reform Judaism, A global faith-based organization. Each of these organizations provides unique perspectives and strategies for embedding racial equity into their core functions. Their stories inspire us to reflect on our practices and to take actionable steps towards fostering inclusive environments. https://wkkf.co/njke

Did you know that April is National Hope Month? It's a time to reflect on various aspects of hope, including the crucial journey toward Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice. As we stand in solidarity with Black mothers, birthing individuals, and families, we recognize the urgent need to address the obstacles they face in accessing quality healthcare. Advocacy is essential. We must amplify their voices and shed light on the injustices they endure. Together, we plant seeds of hope, nurturing them with unwavering determination. In this journey of advocacy and empowerment, let's embrace the strength of community. Together, we can create a world where hope thrives, and every mother is treated with compassion and dignity. Let's go beyond words. This month, let's embody hope through concrete actions and unwavering commitments toward justice and reproductive healthcare.

For my New England and Upstate NY friends, the Collective Power for Reproductive Justice Conference is in Amherst, MA this year on April 12 and 13! The program states, "This year’s conference theme will explore ways of organizing, connecting, and cultivating practices that center impacted communities, foster collective resistance, and practice community care. How can we exercise creativity and art as tools for resistance? What can we learn from one another in our different movements in the pursuit of our collective liberation? We will explore these questions and more with panel discussions led by advocates, activists, artists, and healers from communities most impacted by reproductive injustice."
