Pictured on the cover: Cidadão Global A Message from the Board Chairs and President & CEO Dear Friends, he New York Women’s Foundation is proud to partner with you as we work toward a vibrant present and future for all women and families. The Foundation was established Ton the belief that collective giving and activism yields more powerful results. Thirty-two years later, we are true to the same founding ideals. Thank you for sharing your radical gener- osity, time, strengths and hopes with us. In 2018, we continued to respond to and invest in community leaders and solutions that pro- mote economic, gender and racial justice. The Foundation awarded a record $11 million to 175 community organizations working to advance economic opportunities for women, increase their political leadership and civic participation, end gender-based violence and protect access to healthcare, sexual rights and reproductive justice. These extraordinarily demanding times call for increased responsiveness, investment and collaboration from philanthropy. We have an incredible opportunity to continue to work together and leverage our resources strategically. The Foundation rose to the challenge, increasing its influence and impact by establishing two new funding collaboratives. The Fund for the Me Too Movement and Allies and The Justice Fund launched in 2018, while the NYC Fund for Girls and Young Women of Color is now in its fourth year. We are proud to lead these efforts to fund and accelerate positive change for women and girls, particularly underinvested communities in- cluding immigrants, communities of color, people with disabilities, and transgender and gen- der-nonconforming individuals. As we look to the challenges ahead, we are thankful to have you with us. By contributing to The New York Women’s Foundation, you are creating a world where women prosper and lead, live free of violence and discrimination, and take control of their health, sexual and reproductive rights. With you by our side we will take bolder, bigger steps toward justice and equity for all women and families. Onward, Grainne McNamara Yvonne Moore Ana L.

A long-time activist in the fight to protect Native women, Parker had just visited the office of Sen.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

  • 1 October 19, 2020 to the Ceos of Major Global Asset Managers
    October 19, 2020 To the CEOs of major global asset managers, banks, and insurers: We, the undersigned group of Indigenous women and organizations, call on your institutions to stop financing, investing in, and insuring the expansion of tar sands oil extraction, transport, and refining, and commit to phasing out support for tar sands oil. These measures should encompass both projects and the companies that build and operate such projects. The tar sands sector poses grave threats to Indigenous rights, cultural survival, local waterways and environments, the global climate, and public health. Furthermore, this year saw a significant set of losses in the oil and petroleum sector, and no subsector has had a worse financial prognosis than tar sands oil. The destructiveness of tar sands has been well-documented, and the sector’s growth has been inhibited by legal challenges, financial uncertainty, and grassroots resistance. Though governments and corporations are still calling for the expansion of the tar sands, current tar sands production is restricted by a pipeline bottleneck, which means that the future of increased tar sands extraction depends on three pipelines. With fossil fuel corporations plowing ahead with pipeline construction in the midst of a global pandemic and massive financial meltdown, we urge your institutions to immediately decline any support for TC Energy’s Keystone XL pipeline, Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline, and the Canadian government’s Trans Mountain pipeline – and to cut ties with these tar sands projects and companies. At this moment, tar sands extraction and construction poses major risks to the health of communities and workers due to COVID-19 transmission.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 29, 2015 10:30 a.m. By NADINE ARAGON/RED NATION MEDIA LOS ANGELES, CA - CALL TO ACTION: Stereotypes harm Native women, who have the highest rates of rape and murder in the country, address Adam Sandler's satirical Western film "The Ridiculous Six" (R6). Native Women in Film & Television (NWFILMTV) has formed a Board of Trustees to help the film industry address situations like R6. When a group of American Indian actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler movie last week, Native Women in Film & Television decided it's time for a Call to Action! At this point it's not about who walked off the set and who stayed-it's about the script and the effect it will have on our Indigenous people, Native youth and Native women. Award-winning director, producer, actress and festival founder, Joanelle Romero (Apache/Cheyenne Nations/Sephardic Jew), founder of Native Women in Film & Television, formed the group to address situations regarding these kinds of issues within the film industry. Romero's mother Rita Rogers (Apache actress) costarred in "The Magnificent Seven Ride", the last of four features from the saga "The Magnificent Seven". Adam Sandler's "The Ridiculous Six" is a satire based on "The Magnificent Seven". "Adam Sandler's R6 movie depicting a Native American woman urinating while smoking a peace pipe is 'unholy,' it's like if we were to make a film and place the Torah on the ground and pee on it" stated Romero, "It's an act of 'desecration," as I am a sun dancer and the Chanupa is a sacred pipe that we pray with, it's a sacred way of life for our people".
