Born and raised in Brazil, I’ve long found the Thanksgiving holiday rather fraught. I don’t like revisionist histories, the erasure of Indigenous genocides, or even leftover turkey sandwiches.
But gratitude? That is something I very much enjoy. I’m deeply thankful that together we can continue to build our feminist future.
So in that spirit, I want to offer up my deep gratitude to the truly phenomenal people and organizations who make up our community.
Here is a brief sampling of what we are grateful for at Women’s Foundation California:
- Our grant partners who work day in and day out to make our intersectional feminist future real.
- The dynamo Solís Policy Institute network of current fellows and alums, which is over 600 people strong.
- Our brilliant Board, which stewards our work.
- The allied community of donors and funders who invest their dollars in what we are building together.
- The equally complex and powerful internet that allows us to stay connected as we continue to work remotely.
- Each cup of powerful coffee that provides an extra bit of fuel.
- Culture changers who are building a new way forward.
- The young folks who are part of our Summer Leadership Institute and the next generation of leaders.
What are you grateful for?
