California Black Women’s Health Project (one of our grantees!) is launching its 12 Days of Wellness Campaign, focusing on mental health and wellness for Black women, girls, and families.

The internet should be a space for connection and empowerment, not fear. For millions of women and girls, the internet has become a battleground of harassment and abuse. Cyberstalking, doxxing, and AI-generated image-based violence threats are real and on the rise.

The 3rd Annual Gender Equity Summit, hosted by the California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, brought together leaders at the intersection of gender, technology, and well-being.

Today, we honor the memory of the transgender and gender-diverse individuals whose lives were lost to anti-transgender violence.

Today is Native Women's Equal Pay Day! ✊ It's unacceptable: Native women earn just 58¢ for every dollar a non-Hispanic white man makes. This gap fuels hardship & undermines safety. Economic security IS safety. Let's demand equity now! #NativeWomensEqualPayDay #EqualPay #WageGap #IndigenousWomen

Native women working hard to provide for their families are earning just 53 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men. For some Tribal nations, the wage gap is even wider, underscoring the deep inequity in our economy. #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPayDay

Today, we spotlight the reality that Native American women working full-time year-round earn just 58 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men. This stark pay gap is unacceptable. #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPayDay

Costs keep rising. If the wage gap closed, it would make some of the basics more affordable for Native women. #NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityForNativeWomen @npwf @return2heartfdn

The wage disparity is the result of biases and a legacy of policies designed to oppress and erase Indigenous cultures. We need #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPay

Native women have always worked twice as hard to be seen half as much. Our strength builds nations, yet our labor and leadership remain undervalued. It’s time our work—and our worth—are honored in full. #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPay

#NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityForNativeWomen

Native women deserve more than survival — we deserve equity, safety, and respect. For too long, our work has been undervalued and our voices overlooked. Even with higher education and advanced degrees, we are still underpaid. #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPay

For every $1 paid to white, non-Hispanic men, NHPI women earn as little as 65¢. Disaggregated data makes it clear: not all communities experience pay equity the same way. We need policies that protect NHPI women and close the gap. #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay #EqualPay #PayGap #GenderEquality
