February 14, 2020

On this day of love (#Valentines or #Galentines). we’re sending our love to all of you and sharing this great advice from our friends at UN Women, to:
1. Write a message of encouragement to a girl around you
2. Come together with the women in your workplace to build each other up
3. Tell the women and girls in your life what you admire about them

We know that this community shares their love every day by supporting women, girls, families, communities, and building the systems that support an equitable world. All our love and appreciation to you today, and every day, for the amazing work that you do.
