When 39 countries have full or partial travel restrictions on them — entry and visa issuance is fully suspended or at the very least paperwork is paused or delayed for MONTHS — and ICE presence has terrorized and destroyed new American’s lives, we respond by setting up a mutual aid fund for our neighbors. This is something we can do to help. Join us 🧡

To all of our q***r deers and g**s who slay, happy Pride Month!

Did you know that Pride Month essentially started because of the Stonewall riots? Yup, in 1969 a group of policeman went into the Stonewall Inn to arrest the assumingely gay patrons — the New York state liquor authority prohibited gay people from being served alcohol in public spaces — but instead of looking the other way, members of the local community joined the LGBT+ patrons to fight back. And the gay rights movement exploded. One year later in that same spot, the first Gay Pride event took place.

This year marks the 55th Year of Pride Month.
Check out ways to celebrate, and take a stand for equality, below!

The childcare crisis isn’t going to fix itself.

That’s why we convened the Childcare Implementation Task Force (CITF). The CITF is comprised of local leaders who are committed to advancing solutions for all families to access affordable and quality childcare.

Don’t understand the childcare crisis? Read Leah Budnick’s (the CITF’s co-chair) take on it in her blog. 🔗 in bio.

Learn more about the CITF at https://www.ywcaduluth.org/childcare-implementation-task-force.

This is what we think of war. Period.

As an organization that works tirelessly to end racism and empower women, we want to publicly denounce the war in Iran. This illegal war has not only killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians (war crime) but has also forcibly displaced tens of thousands of individuals and families just trying to live their lives (war crime). While these acts of violence are now being spread throughout the Middle East — or better said, are continuing to spread — it’s not lost on us that women and children in these countries are losing their lives, and their access to peaceful, easy living, at an expedited rate.

According to , mental health burdens are even higher for women and children in war-torn areas due to being compounded with gender-based violence. We literally cannot get a break.

Enough is enough.

Choose wisely when you shop to avoid lining billionaires’ pockets and get to know your neighbors. Support women and children’s organizations and take a moment to breathe. There are things we can do to make a change 🧡
