Happy Birthday to our co-founding mother, Gloria Steinem! ❤️
Gloria is trailblazing activist, writer, and organizer, devoting her life to the fights for gender and racial justice. We are incredibly proud to be guided by her vision and advocacy.
Audre Lorde once said, "I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own."
Safety can't be a reality for anyone until it's a reality for everyone.

True gender and racial equality requires removing those burdens, and trusting, valuing, and caring for the leadership of women at the forefront of creating a more just and equitable world.
Dolores, it is an honor to support you and be supported by you over the decades.
Ms. Foundation’s love and admiration for Dolores Huerta is unwavering—particularly in this moment.
There is always power in coming forward. Her story, and the story of every survivor, make it possible for more women leaders to name and change the burdens they are asked to bear by our movements.
Our grantee partners fight for equity, safety, and justice. Thank you for helping us build collective power. #WomensHistoryMonth
