It’s #GivingTuesday, the global movement that encourages people to do good! At DC EcoWomen, we know it’s empowering to focus on the abundance we all have to give and share.

In the words of #feminist Simone de Beauvoir, true #generosity means “you give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.” ❤️ As an entirely #volunteer-run organization, we are only as strong as the generosity of our nearly 6,000 members. Everything we do is made possible because of YOU!

Amid our 15th anniversary, we need your help now more than ever.

In today’s fragmented, highly-fraught political climate, there has never been a more important time to build an inclusive community of #women, dedicated to the #environment and the planet we call home, to foster personal and professional development.

Will you help support our work by making a tax-deductible gift today? Tap the link in our bio to learn more about how you can give back! 🍏 🌎
