It's International Women's Day 2021

It’s International Women’s Day 2021. Now more than ever it’s important to remember just how powerful and resilient women are. We have and continue to face unprecedented challenge such as an ongoing global pandemic, loss of loved ones and record unemployment to name a few. In big ways and small, women show up to give the support needed to keep our communities going. Often providing the physical and emotional labor at the expense of our own self-care. Please remember to take the time to rest your body, nourish yourself and stay connected with friends and loved ones. You deserve the same care you extend to others, even if you have to provide it to yourself.

We want you to know that we are proud of each and every one of you. You are doing your best and meeting the challenge of our new life circumstances with bravery (even when you don’t feel very brave). We see you exercise your creativity and ingenuity to make food last longer, to support parents and elders, to provide support to kids while distance learning and showing up for friends who feel isolated or alone. We know it’s hard. We don’t know when the burden will ease. But, we want you to remember that you have power even in the toughest circumstances. In the days and months ahead, we hope to be a resource to help you. Whether you need a laugh, a resource or a simply confirmation that you are not alone - we’re here to help. We see you. We appreciate you. We believe in you.
