It’s #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth! This month we will be uplifting grantee-partners rooted in and dedicated to the Latinx community. We share gratitude for our partnerships with Latinx-led organizations and leaders to drive collective impact for gender & racial justice.
Our Status of Women & Girls found that occupational clustering = ⬇️ wages for wmn. Female-dominated jobs have avg wage= $22/hr; male-dom ones have an avg wage=$29/hr.
It's why we invest in women+girls like WFMN Innovators--we know they are entrepreneurs w/ strength of vision.
We know that sex trafficking happens 365 days a year, across MN, the US, & the world. As we fight to #EndHumanTrafficking & create a world of safety so that all women & girls can thrive, we know we can #SpottheSigns & #EndDemand.
TY for your leadership @mkuneshpodein & @SenWarrenLimmer & @LtGovFlanagan As the editorial states, there’s no excuse for inaction! Fully fund task to protect women from tribal nations. https://t.co/QhJCUm7uve

On International #DayOftheGirl, we lift up girls all over the world who are leading us into the future and creating the world they want to live in today -- who inspire, innovate, persist, and succeed in their lives and in their communities!
As Dr. Blasey Ford prepares to testify today, we stand in solidarity with her and countless others whose voices have been discredited and devalued to say that #WeBelieveSurvivors. We must #ChangeCulture and transform systems that have denied victims justice for far too long.

To the 1,000s of Minnesotans who’ve been raped, then failed so completely by the criminal justice system: We’re sorry for ur pain. We see you. We believe you. We stand w/you. To law enforcement: May you see this series as a gift & opportunity to change to ensure safety, justice.
