Dear Friends,
Happy Winter Solstice! As we approach the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, we are readying ourselves to welcome back the light. Today, we’re reflecting on how inspiring it has been to be in community with you this year, and celebrating the momentum of our collective work for peace, justice, and earth protection. Now more than ever, we are reminded of the original spark of light that birthed Women’s Earth Alliance in 2006, when a circle of 30 women shared this vision for a world on its way:
We envision a world in which all beings—people, plants, animals, and the Earth—are safe, healthy, and living in balance with one another. We envision a world united by collective care, generosity, and reciprocity, in which ecosystems are flourishing and communities are thriving.
We’ve raised over 70% of our #WeAreMadeForThis year-end campaign goal. With your help and thanks to our 1:1 matching grant, we aim to reach (and exceed!) our goal by December 31st. With your support in 2024, WEA will:
- Invest in over 9,000 women climate leaders with a WEA Accelerator grant to exponentially scale their work and impact
- Offer 29 Accelerators in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and the U.S., to build the technical skills, climate leadership and networks of WEA Leaders and the communities they serve
- Provide WEA Leaders with wraparound support including access to a global alliance, regional trainings and meet-ups, travel stipends, monitoring and evaluation tools, curriculum design, and mentorship.
