Women, girls and gender expansive people in the United States are facing increased challenges to their safety, stability, and freedom. In spite of the advances and commitments that you and so many incredible organizations have made to address the rise of violence and oppression, the current instability in resources and a divisive political climate is increasing barriers for women and girls.

We are seeing increased vulnerability in our communities; particularly for women, girls, LGBTQ+, BIPOC and other historically oppressed communities, as support and stability wanes for organizations addressing education, childhood safety and well being, economic inequity, domestic violence, housing instability, healthcare, and sexual violence.

We believe that by investing holistically in women and girls, we can create systems and spaces with more opportunity, more safety, more resilience, and more community. We can uplift! Please join us.

Our team consists of The Life Story Initiative leadership (Lena and Nancy) along with two long-time advocates for women and girls, Andrea Powell and Kristie Tagg.
