DONATION POLICY

I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. And I am not free as long as one person of Color remains chained. Nor is anyone of you. . .What woman here is so enamored of her own oppression that she cannot see her heelprint upon another woman’s face?  -Audre Lorde

As a neighborhood gathering place, we donate generously and are active members of our community.  Given the current climate and increased demand for donations, we’ve created a policy to help ensure we’re supporting, promoting, and partnering with causes that we care about most.

Inspired by the Women’s March:
We fight for equality, human rights, civil liberties, and justice for all.  
We believe the future is diverse.
We empower and protect historically excluded groups.

We partner with and support:

• advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities
• organizations that protect our rights, health, and safety
• organizations that work toward building strong, confident, smart women
