“Reclaim the Reach: Women Building Back Community”

“We are the daughters of resilience. In the Great Depression, we fed our communities. In the Civil Rights era, we marched, taught, and healed. Today, as our elders face housing insecurity, our youth navigate broken schools, and our health outcomes lag behind, I ask: where is our fire now?

The data is clear. Marginalized communities in  this country - Black, Brown, Red White, poor, rural, disable— we are diverse are being left behind, and we, the as women, must rise again. Not just to remember, but to rebuild.”
​
“Unity Across Communities”

Despite the disregard of many modern administrations toward certain demographics in this country, we must remember that we have always been resilient people. Historically, Black women-built coalitions with others who shared the struggle for justice — Jewish women, Latina women, Indigenous women, and every ally who understood that freedom is indivisible.

​

That same spirit must guide us again. Across race, heritage, and culture, women of color share one destiny: when one group is diminished, all are affected. Our mission is not exclusion — it is expansion.

​

Today, many families are multi-ethnic, and many children of blended heri–––tage grow up within the embrace of African American culture — often because they were pushed away from their own for “crossing over.” We need to be the arms that welcome them back, not the walls that hold them out.

​

Whether you identify as African American, Afro-Latina, biracial, Indigenous, or part of any sisterhood of color — your voice belongs here. Together, we can rebuild the bonds that once made our communities strong and ensure that our daughters inherit not only our history, but our hope.
