Supporting marginalized young women & gender-diverse youth in civic leadership.

Anti-oppressive, Trans-inclusive, Feminist.

From calling for legislative change to building strong communities , young women and gender-diverse youth are moving our society forward everyday. At the same time, their leadership is often inadequately recognized or supported and does not always translate into the number of women who run for democratic office or lead civic and political institutions.

We hope to change that.

 

Framing Our Future

A multi-faceted program designed to increase civic literacy & leadership among young women & gender-diverse youth.

"We talk a lot about #feminism meaning complete freedom, and for some people, that means, like, 'Free the nipple!' But there's another end of the #feminist spectrum, and that's where people like me are... You can't just fight for one type of freedom or one type of female power. You know what? Muslim women want to cover up, and we have to fight for our right to do that, too." @Yuna #IntersectionalFeminism #MuslimGirl

Our Advisory Council has been instrumental to our success. Here's a quote from @kianada highlighting the need for support systems that help #WomenInPolitics thrive. #cdnpoli #WomenInLeadership #OnPoli #ToPoli #AbPoli #BCPoli #RedefineLeadership
"What happened to Anita Hill was a big deal. Sitting in front of an all-white, all-male Senate Judiciary Committee, Hill was a trailblazer; her testimony was significant as it was the first time a woman had so publicly shared her experience with sexual harassment in the workplace. Her nationally televised testimony validated women’s experiences across the country, and the backlash against her catalyzed their anger." @flaremag #AnitaHill #WomenInPolitics #WomenInLeadership #MeToo #TimesUp
