We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Nikki Giovanni — a pioneering poet, activist, educator, and YWCA Career Woman honoree. She emerged as a significant voice during the Black Arts Movement and, over her prolific career, Giovanni authored more than 20 books, addressing themes of race, politics, love, and age. Nikki Giovanni exemplified dedication, passion, and service. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on our community and beyond. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.

Today is International Human Rights Day ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 On this day in 1948, the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, affirming that everyone—regardless of race, gender, or background—is entitled to dignity, equality, and freedom. We remain committed to advancing these ideals and creating a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Human rights are not just words; they are a call to action. Together, we must stand against injustice, amplify marginalized voices, and ensure that no one is left behind.

As we celebrate this season, we thank you for your continued support to #EliminateRacism, #EmpowerWomen, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. While the greater culture of gratitude is the one with which we identify, today, we acknowledge the history of Thanksgiving has historically been revised to erase indigenous voices. Today, and every day, we honor Indigenous voices, leadership, guidance, and resistance in dismantling racial injustices in our systems as we dismantle all systems of oppression. Today, we give thanks for those who help us continue moving our mission forward.
