Women’s History Month Resources
"Here's to strong women, may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them."
This month, we celebrate Women’s History Month, a time when we honor women around the world for their accomplishments, resilience, and power. According to the National Women’s History Alliance, this year’s theme will “capture the spirit of these challenging times … by extending the [2020] theme for 2021 to ‘Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.’”
Imagine LA is proud to celebrate the women who make up and lead our families, staff, Board, and community during this meaningful month.
Here are some ways to honor this special month:
