On Jan 20th, 2025 - Inauguration Day and MLK Day - We Are Here Gatherings happened across the country.
The goal of these gatherings was to gain perspective on where we are at this moment in our country, and gain strength from our local communities. We wanted to remind people that nearly half the country voted for a woman president, lift up the accomplishments women did make in this past election and affirm that ultimately even though we are a divided country, we are all in this together.
In light of the devastation in LA from the fires, these gatherings also served as fundraisers for people who lost their homes.
At each gathering, hosts showed for our my short films (We Are Here, A Declaration of Interdependence, 30,000 Days and 50/50, Rethinking the Past, Present & Future of Women and Power,) some we updated for this moment, some we are re-releasing, and one we found in which we hear directly from MLK, in an excerpt from one of his acclaimed speeches.
We invite you to watch them too.
These gatherings are an initiative by my studio Let it Ripple and Dr. Nancy O’Reilly of Women Connect4Good.
