Each March, the United States celebrates Women's History Month, thirty-one days for the intentional focus on the contributions and accomplishments of all women, both in historical and contemporary society. Recognizing the achievements of women in all facets of life – science, community, government, literature, art, sports, medicine – has an impact on changing the trajectory of the American historical narrative.
And while history months are obviously about "looking back," this Women's History Month we believe the time is right to lift up those who are making history right now. From the Women's March to the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, to youth activists such as those highlighted during our Teen DV Month & IWD podcasts, there are change makers speaking up today.
We are at a profound moment in time, when we are called together to set a bold vision and act with shared purpose. We honor and join in community with those who work to eradicate oppressive systems and structures and ignite a transformative movement for change. In solidarity, we stand with our friends and allies from around the globe to envision and create a world where justice, peace, and freedom are present in the lives of all. And WE STAND with those who embrace self-care and healing as necessary and powerful in our efforts to seek new pathways.
