ABOUT US

Our staff is motivated by the shared belief that everyone deserves dignity, access to resources, a path to education, and the agency to decide how to live well. We strive to reduce barriers that stand in the way of these ideals. We work in collaboration with campus partners, community organizers, and student leaders who inspire us daily. 

Our theme for the 2022-2023 year, informed by the deep impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and national and global human rights crises, is: community support and mutual aid as feminist practice. This informs our work, our programs and events, our resource creation, our coalition building, and the way we set up the Sloss House as a community space.
