Despite being more than half of the earth’s population, women’s priorities too rarely get the attention they deserve. Big problems hit us particularly hard (look at incarcerated women, for example) but our brilliance can yield solutions that benefit all. Here we find the power of the Dream.Org way. We put a spotlight on the people who are hurting, and we lift up the genius of people closest to the problems. This Women’s History Month, that theme echoes through the snapshots from our three programs below – just as it always guides our work.

This Earth Month, let's do something to help prevent the next catastrophic train derailment that could put your community and environment at risk. Join us in supporting the DERAIL Act, which demands higher safety standards for trains carrying hazardous materials. By signing the petition, you are telling Congress to prioritize people and the planet over profits and pollution. Over 1,000 trains go off track yearly, so we need you to act now. Reduce the risk of an environmental disaster by supporting the DERAIL Act.
