🎉 🎉 This investment from MacKenzie Scott honors the fight for justice of all our clients, both former and current. They are at the center of our celebration and will continue to be at the center of our future actions. 💚 💜    The investment has significance for Women’s Link beyond its direct impact on the organization. Feminist organizations, especially those led by women of color, typically experience underinvestment. Women’s Link’s leaders recognize that fundraising is impacted by a capitalist system and other systems of oppression, which allow and encourage the accumulation of money in the hands of a few people and force many people to live in poverty. We are committed to conscientiously use this donation to help dismantle systems of oppression and to advance human rights and reproductive justice.   We will continue building a world where the use of law is no longer a privilege racial justice is centered in all of our actions, and the love and fight for the autonomy, freedom and reproductive justice of women, girls and gender-diverse people is a reality. 

I am where I am today, because other women shared their knowledge and expertise freely. There's nothing more inspiring that women supporting women, because we know it's not a competition. There's room for us all to be successful. I carry a piece of each female mentor with me. Jenny Amory, taught me to negotiate prices and leverage nonprofit discounts. Kathryn A. (Katie) Wheeler taught me how to preserve authors' voices while editing. Katie Bayerl taught me how to apply a DBIE lens to my writing. Namrata Patel taught me to invest in my teams' present and futures and to make safe space for mistakes. Beth Bryant taught me how to refine my data analysis and projections. Laurie Heller taught me how to design within brand standards. Cassidy Leighton taught me so much about email accessibility. Tasha Booker M.ED taught me how to navigate the politics of organizations and leadership. To find myself now at the Trustees, surrounded by this talented sisterhood, is such a blessing.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As a board member of Women In Transition (WIT), a non-profit that empowers people to move forward in their lives free of domestic and substance abuse, this cause is very personal to me. Throughout the month I will be sharing facts and events to help support victims of abuse and the WIT community. By acknowledging this reality, we can collectively work towards ending domestic violence and creating safe, healthy communities for everyone.
