March 1st marks the first day of Women’s History Month. Originating in the United States, this celebration has since been adopted and celebrated by governments, organizations, and communities globally. Here in the U.S., Women’s History Month traces its origins to a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California, in 1978. The idea expanded, and in 1981, Congress passed a resolution making Women’s History Week a national observance. In 1987, Congress expanded it to a month-long celebration. Since then, it has been recognized annually in March, celebrating the contributions and achievements of women throughout history.
JustLeadershipUSA is proud to join the celebrations recognizing and honoring the incredible contributions of women in our workforce, our communities, and around the world. We are even more proud to say that throughout every aspect of our DNA, women have played a vital role in shaping our organization and driving its success. The resilience, creativity, and dedication of women leaders around the world has reshaped the value of women in society, and their example provides a north star for generations to come, inspiring women of all ages to pursue their dreams and break barriers.
Throughout this month, our website will be highlighting the achievements and stories of the remarkable women impacted by the criminal legal system. We encourage you to take part in conversations, share your own stories, and join us in celebrating the diverse talents and perspectives that make our team and community stronger.
Let’s use this opportunity to not only celebrate, but also to reflect on how we can further support and empower women in the workplace and beyond.
Thank you for being part of our journey as we honor Women’s History Month together.
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future. By making a donation in honor of JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, you are saying to the amazing leaders in our network who represent the 70+ million Americans who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, “I see you, and I support you!”
