This year we chose to partner with an innovative Bay Area organization that's working at the intersection of gender equality, sustainability and human rights. Our gift to Women's Earth Alliance, which was matched by an anonymous donor, had a real impact on the struggle for justice of several Native American communities. Specifically, our gift was used to bring several activists to a strategy gathering in which indigenous leaders shared skills and resources to protect their land from exploitative extractive industries. Several of us volunteered at the inspiring event which no doubt had a major impact on the women present.
