Throughout our individual and collective faith and organizing journeys, the centering of women has been maligned, purposefully ignored and rendered invisible. This organizing moment of celebrating women will re-teach and teach for the first time how to carry the real lived experiences of women in our organizing work; demonstrate how faith, power, and women together form a vehicle to create wins in organizing and justice; and declare the path of power, faith and liberation is through our reclaiming of us— our stories, our bodies, our labor and our brilliance as women. Please join us for this ONLY Women’s (Black, Brown, Trans, Disabled, Muslim, Immigrant, Formerly Incarcerated, ALL!) event!
