Dear John,

As the first national women's fund, Women’s History Month holds a special significance for us at the Ms. Foundation for Women. When our founding mothers created the organization in 1973, they introduced the then-revolutionary idea that women themselves could provide leadership, support and solutions to the most pressing issues our country faced. Now, 50 years later, our history and the victories of women’s movements influence all the work we do.  

We invite you to join us in celebrating our 50th anniversary however you can. This month, we’re kicking off a blog series highlighting stories of leaders who have worked with the Ms. Foundation during different periods in our history. Our team is currently traveling the country and meeting with grassroots leadership.

We’re writing women’s history every day, and we’re so proud to be in this fight alongside our incredible partners, and alongside you.

In solidarity,

Ruth McFarlane
Chief Advancement Officer

Recap: Women + Justice Series

In honor of Women’s History Month and to commemorate our 50th anniversary, we partnered with the Center for Brooklyn History to host conversations on gender equality and racial justice. The series was moderated by Tressie McMillan Cottom and featured panelists such as groundbreaking cartoonist Barbara Brandon-Croft, feminist legal scholar Patricia J. Williams, and former Ms. Foundation leader Sara K. Gould, abolitionist activist Andrea Ritchie, and Ms. Foundation President and CEO Teresa C. Younger.

If you missed the series, you can watch recordings of Part 1 and Part 2 now.
