Local, State, and Federal Work for Gender Justice!
Dear Friends,
WFO is committed to advancing Gender Justice! We recognize that in order to have sustainable and effective impact, our work has to be done at all levels. We are proud of our local and statewide efforts, and now we are integrating ourselves into Federal opportunities. Last week, we participated in the first-ever Feminist Philanthropy Day! Advocating for pay equity, child care resources, and reproductive rights. Read our whole press release here.
We couldn't do this work, without the PHENOMENAL network of individuals committed to WFO and Gender Justice. Thank you Gender Warriors!
