Join Us for Pan African Women’s Day
Join us as we celebrate the strength, culture, and leadership of Pan-African women. This year’s theme, “Pan-Africanism & Environmental Justice,” resonates deeply with our community as we reflect on how interconnected struggles across the African diaspora are shaped by both colonial legacies and environmental degradation.
Event Highlights:
- Education: Learn about the vital role of women in the environmental justice movement and how Pan-Africanism is guiding efforts toward a more sustainable future.
- Face Painting for Kids: Fun and creativity for our younger attendees—everyone’s part of this celebration.
- Poetry: Enjoy powerful performances by local poets who bring to life stories of identity, struggle, and hope.
- Panel Discussion: Our thought-provoking panel discussion will explore the intersection of Pan-Africanism and environmental justice, focusing on how we can create change locally and globally.
Let’s come together and honor the voices and achievements of Pan-African women who inspire change every day. LEARN MORE

?Take Action: Support TPS for Congo
|
|
For families displaced by the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is more than just a legal status—it’s a lifeline. We ask your support in signing the petition to extend TPS for DRC. This policy directly impacts countless families who are facing turmoil and displacement.
Why TPS for Congo Matters: Many families have found refuge in the U.S. as a result of extreme violence and political instability in the DRC. Extending TPS provides not only a safe haven but also the opportunity for families to work, live, and contribute to their new communities without the constant fear of deportation.
Sign the Petition and help us protect these families.
