~ During this week's Council meeting, the powerful intersection of community, support, and empowerment for women and families was reflected upon as the Council honored two important events - "Boston Women's Fund Day" and "Runway for Mom Day."
The first resolution, presented by Councilors Mejia and Louijeune, recognized September 26th as "Boston Women's Fund Day" in honor of its 40th year anniversary. The Boston Women's Fund was established in 1984 with a people-first approach to supporting and empowering women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals from marginalized communities. Through its work, the fund has nurtured countless leaders and activists, paving the way for the next generation of change-makers.
The second resolution, presented by Councilors Mejia and Fernandes Anderson, recognized September 29th as "Runway for Mom Day" in celebration of its 10 year anniversary. Since its establishment, Runway for Mom has positively impacted numerous Latina mothers through unique programs such as Runway Pasarella, Runway Conference, My Runway Life, and Runway Breakfast. These programs provide opportunities for mothers to showcase their growth, strength, and resilience while being celebrated by their families, friends, and community.
