What is Women's Fellowship?
Women’s Fellowship is a 10-month, cohort-based program that builds the leadership of women-identified and non-binary people of color who have personally experienced incarceration or detention and/or of a close loved one.
The fellowship’s goal is to equip the fellows with the tools they need to engage in strategic discussions and partnerships to shape policy decisions and establish how power is attained and wielded at home, work, and their communities by centering healing in the midst of transformative organizing.
