Out Load & With Laughter!
Feminism, Activism, Justice + Friendship and Courage on International Women's Day
The Women's Foundation of Oregon would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended "Out Loud & With Laughter! Feminism, Activism, Justice + Friendship and Courage on International Women's Day". If you missed the event, don't worry! You can access the recording here.
It was truly inspiring to hear from authors Judy Gumbo and Ruby McConnell and spend the afternoon with Tra'Renee. It felt incredible to be in community with such a wonderful, thoughtful and engaging group.
We look forward to hosting other events like this in the future. The work of WFO is only possible with community givers. We would love for you to join us in our collective efforts to dismantle systemic barriers and create lasting gender justice. Invest in the fight today.
Solidarity in Sovereignty!
Registration is now open for Solidarity in Sovereignty, a five week virtual learning series developed in partnership with local Indigenous women leaders and the Center for Women Leadership focused on educating our community about under-discussed issues affecting Indigenous communities.
The topics covered during this teach-in are crucial to the lives and wellbeing of Indigenous women and gender expansive people. We invite non-indigenous members of our community to begin or continue their learning journey on five current issues impacting Native Nations across our region. RSVP TODAY
