Letters of Solidarity: Writing Event and Toiletry Drive

Join the Social Justice Initiative, Woman Made Gallery, and the Women's Justice Institute for this gathering to foster connection and support for women impacted by incarceration. Through letter writing and a toiletry drive, we will engage in mutual care and recognize our shared humanity, building bridges rather than barriers. Every contribution—whether a letter or a donation—helps affirm dignity, care, and solidarity.

As part of this event, we will hear directly from women who have experienced incarceration as they share their stories and perspectives. Representatives from the Women's Justice Institute will also speak on their work and the impact they have in advocating for system-impacted women. This is an opportunity to listen, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about the systemic forces that shape our lives and communities.

Join us in this act of advocacy, reflection, and connection.
