WE Love Her, Them, and YOU
WE Love Her, WE Love Them, WE Love You.
“….bell hooks’ thoughts on how our love of Black people was always at the center of the Black liberation struggle. In her trilogy series on love, bell hooks takes note of the misconceptions that freedom must centralize power over love. Instead, she offers that love and power work in tandem with self-determination and love is central to Black freedom. This is what I see happening today as the movement for Black lives centers on love of self, a determination to be fully recognized and respected, allowing our entire community to thrive. Self love and self-determination are the cornerstone of reproductive justice. WE’s (Women Engaged’s) intersectional framework links the current uprising to our community engagement work. As a Black women-founded, and Black-led organization, our roots are steeped in love and power-building and connects us to the rich civil rights legacy that transformed the world and makes Atlanta, GA, so special.” - Malika Redmond, June 2020
Black women, transgender black women, femmes, girls, and gender expansive indiviuals have always been at the forefront of impactful movements. In the midst of severe shortages of necessities, such as baby formula and childcare, rising costs of grocery and transportation, and judicial attacks on our human rights and constitutionally protected bodily autonomy, Women Engaged continues to fight and build power within our communities. Our CEO said it best in her legendary Essence Magazine article, “as a Black woman, activist, and new mother, we are our own best advocates deserving of respect and support.”
Women Engaged supports Black women, femmes, girls, and young adults to become impactful leaders, key decision makers and effective agents for social change through integrated voter engagement, reproductive justice advocacy, reparations advocacy, and leadership development.
WE acknowledges there are current rapid response issues arising in the United States that need our immediate help and attention. It is not lost on WE that not being able to afford formula and other necessities has plagued Black families that are disproportionately hit by compounded healthcare, socioeconomic, transportation, and grocery access inequities in the U.S. Women Engaged is dedicated to contributing to the ongoing formula shortage and rising costs by collecting monetary donations through the WE Love Her Campaign and distributing formula to low income families in need of this grave necessity.
Show your love for those in our community by donating to this campaign. Through the WE Love campaign, your contribution fuels our ability to continue our transformative work within voter engagement, leadership development, and reproductive justice. While every day is a day to celebrate Black history, Women's herstory, and theirstory, consider commemorating the occasion by giving today.
