About the Event
We’re marking International Women’s Day on March 8 with a FeMNist Week of events!
Join the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota and our partners for a Rise + Thrive Roundtable: Resourcing Rest and Radical Care in Feminist-Led Movements. In a lunch hour conversation with healing justice leaders, hear why rest is resistance and why it’s essential to support grassroots leaders in gender justice.
From uprisings to pandemics to our reproductive rights, holistic well-being is critical to sustaining movements. Women, girls, and gender-expansive people have long been at the forefront of those movements — leading the way with grit and joy — yet investing in their rest and well-being has been minimal. We’ll explore the importance of resourcing sustaining movements in healing justice, and how we can center joy and healing in leadership.
Women’s Foundation President & CEO Gloria Perez will lead a conversation with Minnesota practitioners leading movements for healing and justice.
Rise + Thrive panelists:
- Suzanne Koepplinger, Healing Justice Philanthropic Leader & Founder of Catalyst North Consulting
- Amoke Kubat, Northside Healer & Artist of Yo Mama’s House
- Rebeka Ndosi, Holistic Healing Practitioner & Teacher
- Joo Hee Pomplun, Body Worker & Executive Director of The Alliance
In response to our ongoing research and listening, we invest in our impact area of holistic well-being & reproductive justice through policy, research, and grantmaking to ensure that women, girls, and gender-expansive people are well, with maternal and infant health, reproductive justice, and healing. Our investments address the impacts of structural racism and respond to community-specific needs with grantmaking for support, healing, and restoration for women, girls, and families affected by trauma, violence, erasure, and harm.
Join the Women’s Day Rise + Thrive Roundtable virtually and hear from leaders in healing justice work on why rest is resistance and how philanthropy has a responsibility to support grassroots leaders in gender justice.
We invite you to continue conversations with us to realize holistic well-being looks like and resource healing workers leading the field.
