Action Absorbs Anxiety
Join Our Movement: Empowerhered – A Sisterhood that CARES.
Our pillars—Community, Action, Respect, Empowerment, and Service—guide everything we do. Each month, we mobilize to support a wide range of local organizations serving disenfranchised populations. Our efforts primarily focus on LGBTQ+, immigrant, and women’s rights causes, while also addressing critical issues such as food insecurity. As well, we gather regularly to support each other in team building activities. In all that we do, we strive to bring positivity and purpose.
We recognize that not everyone can participate in person. For those who wish to contribute in other ways, financial donations are a meaningful way to support our work. Your generosity could help provide volunteer supplies, materials for sign-making, or resources for team building.
Thank you for standing with us.
Stay Engaged with the Our Sisterhood!
In keeping with our mission, we offer multiple opportunities each month to come together, connect, and make an impact as a community. From regular gatherings to special one-time events, there's always a way to get involved.
Don’t miss out! Be sure to sign up for our newsletter — it's the best way to stay informed about upcoming service projects, activism opportunities, guest speakers, and community events.
Let’s grow, serve, and rise—together.
