The Women's Fund of Central Ohio stands with those asking for more recognition of the many uniquely different Latinx/Hispanic identities and their unique barriers to equitable rights. Stay tuned for our post about the incredible activism of Dolores Huerta later today!

In honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth , today we're highlighting Dolores Huerta, one of the most influential activists of the 20th century. We honor her important legacy and tireless efforts to create a more equal world.

Happy LGBT+ History Month! The rights of LGBT+ people have always been under attack, and it is more important than ever to stand together to create a world where we're all equal. #transrights #lgbthistory

Today we are celebrating the life of Sylvia Rivera! She was a gender non-conforming activist who was instrumental in the inclusion of trans people into the LGBT movement. The Sylvia Rivera Law Project was named in her honor and has continued her legacy of fighting for inclusion.

In honor of the end of Hispanic Heritage month, there is no better story to tell than that of Sonia Sotomayor. She is known as someone who utilizes her lived experiences to challenge the historically white & patriarchal justice system and as an advocate for girls' opportunities.

November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, which means it’s time to discuss how Indigenous Peoples are the original philanthropists. Indigenous Peoples’ altruism is what made survival possible for the many waves of colonial settlers who came to this land. (1/5)

(2/5)Unfortunately, the world we know today is built upon the extraction and disposition of Indigenous land, water, food, and peoples as well as enslavement and exploitation.⁠ Indigenous cultures are rooted in generosity, respect, responsibility, partnership, and reciprocity.⁠

(3/5) These values hold true to this day, inspiring Indigenous Peoples’ continued philanthropic work.⁠ Although Indigenous acts of giving may look different from what Western society refers to as ‘philanthropy,’ Native philanthropic roots must be respected and acknowledged.

(4/5)Native communities have generations of knowledge that can strengthen philanthropic practices, but funders must be willing to meet Indigenous Peoples as equal partners in this work.⁠

(5/5) If you want to learn more about Indigenous Peoples and their ties to philanthropy, use the following resource:⁠ nativephilanthropy.org/2021/11/10/the…⁠nal-philanthropy-day/.⁠ We must continue to uplift Indigenous voices everyday, no matter the month. #nativeamericanheritagemonth

Native American Heritage Month is a time to educate about the rich histories and rights of Indigenous peoples. Tribal sovereignty is a cornerstone of Tribal Nations; however, it is not well understood outside of Indian Country. (1/3)

Tribal sovereignty, the right of Indigenous Peoples to govern themselves, is inherent and predates the existence of federal governments. This right has been recognized by Congress, the Constitution, statutes, and treaties. Tribal sovereignty should never be up for debate. (2/3)

Thank you for showing up for this community! We wanted as many eyes on these as possible; and the results were so worth it!

Indigenous land acknowledgments honor and respect the land of Indigenous Peoples and communities – past and present. These acknowledgments take place in the form of statements at the beginning of meetings, on websites, or they can even be placed permanently in public places (1/4)

Today is #NativeWomensEqualPayDay which means today is the day that native women had to work until to earn what non-Hispanic white men earned in 2021. Equitable pay is a major accelerator of wealth equity. With wealth comes power, and we need women in power more than ever.
