Who supports us

Who we are

  • Our dedicated team members, interns, volunteers and Board of Directors have stewarded our mission in unprecedented ways as we worked to continue to serve our communities in these uncertain and struggling times.

As we navigate the post-pandemic world, we also face the social climate created by the Supreme Court’s decisions on race and discrimination, and their fateful ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade. These decisions have set back our country’s progress towards equitable civil rights for all, effectively creating an urgency for our work now more than ever. Together we forge ahead with a renewed commitment to creating a more equitable and just world for all.
