Dear Friends,

I am a feminist. I believe in equal political, economic, cultural, personal and social rights for women. Until this is a commonly accepted view, I believe in Impact.

Impact Bay Area does so much more than just teach women some self-defense moves. They teach boundary settings, help survivors of abuse, and overall teach women that they are strong and I believe this is feminism in action. I became interested in Impact Bay Area after I watched a public celebration in one of their basis self –defense classes. A public celebration is the last three fights that the women in the class do as part of their training. It was an amazing experience, watching the empowerment of women happen right in front of my eyes. It made me want to be part of this amazing group.

I do not just want to be a feminist in name only; I want to work on making women stronger in the community. I love Impact’s mission of helping women with day to day harassment and preparing them for worst case scenarios, until the day that “No!” is enough.

Impact Bay Area is a non-profit that needs your help to continue the work they do. This work is very important to me and I hope you will consider a donation.

PLEASE HELP BY DONATING TODAY! Thank you!
