On May 31 the Women’s Fund and our community partners went to the MA State House to advocate for community-driven solutions to issues affecting women and girls in our region. Our grantee partner, the YWCA of Southeastern MA, helped train participants to advocate for themselves and their communities. Women, girls, and gender-diverse people learned how to speak truth to power through telling their personal stories and discussing how policies and programs affect their lives. Advancing advocacy and leadership skills are critical to building pipelines of more diverse voices in all places of power.
