Women hold the seeds of change.

This season has been alive with activity, and full of generous, heartfelt action from our community. Through your support and partnership, WEA has launched three grassroots accelerator programs for women leaders in the U.S., Indonesia and Kenya. We’ve raised nearly $100,000 in seed grants through a generous $50k match and individual infusions of funds from people like you—an investment that will directly support each leader in our 2019 accelerators to take her work to the next level.

And at the center of this powerful activation are the grassroots women doing the masterful work on the ground of protecting our communities and the earth. For every story of women’s leadership we share (like Raihal’s below), we know that there are ten, twenty, a thousand more women engaged in our generations’ most crucial work of ensuring a safe, healthy and thriving future for our children, and our children’s children.

Thank you for being a part of our vision to stand alongside those women. To believe in and uplift their leadership. And to plant seeds of change together.

In Honor of Moms Everywhere

Topics:

Happy Mother’s Day

Mothers come in many forms. Today, WEA honors the work of mothers and community caregivers around the world—women who are mothering children and mothering movements; birthing babies and birthing transformation in their communities.

This Mother’s Day, support these mothers with a gift in honor of a mother in your life.

Run4Salmon 2019: Save the Date

Topics: , , , , , , ,

Each September for the past 2 years, Chief Caleen Sisk has led the Winnemem Wintu Tribe and allies in the Run4Salmon, a 300-mile journey from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region to the tribe’s historic village site on the McCloud River near Mt. Shasta. This two-week long prayerful event is a call to action to restore the endangered winter-run Chinook salmon, which are sacred to the Winnemem, and whose populations are severely threatened by climate change and construction of dams in the area.

Planning for this year’s Run4Salmon — which will take place from Sept 15-30 — is underway. WEA was honored to support last year’s run as it traveled through Ohlone territory and will be doing so again this September.

New RIPPLE print

Topics: , ,

Everyday, WEA women leaders model this most basic truth: when women are equipped with resources and support, they not only profoundly impact their local environment, but they create a positive ripple effect on entire regions. As the U.S. elections and our partners have shown, we can never underestimate the impact that each of our actions has on this world. May all our circles keep widening.

Stay tuned for your chance to grab a limited-edition “RIPPLE” letterpress print or postcard pack. They hit the WEA marketplace in early December!
