You don’t have to be a billionaire or lobbyist to make change. Just ask Yuriko Doku and Katie B Temple, who launched Circles’ first-ever lobby day last year, bringing women and community members to the State Capitol.

We're excited to be a part of Respect Nebraska Voters, a ballot initiative that will protect our right to propose and vote on laws that put hardworking families first – and ensure that when Nebraskans make a decision at the ballot box, politicians respect it. RespectNEVoters.org

More than 35 years ago, a simple yet powerful idea took root. What if we focused our philanthropic energy on the needs of women and girls? That vision became the Women’s Fund of Omaha and it changed everything. 🥰

A new ballot initiative is coming your way!

"The campaign comes after several elections where voters approved wide-ranging ballot measures only to face a hacksaw in the Nebraska Legislature....from medical cannabis to paid sick leave and minimum wage." nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...
Nebraska lawmakers tried changing voter-approved laws. A new effort wants to tamp down on that
Organizers behind several successful petition drives are filing yet another petition, but one that aims to provide an insurance policy for any petition passed by voters.

Today, on Transgender Day Of Remembrance, we remember and honor the trans lives lost to violence, hatred and injustice.

Their stories matter. Their lives mattered.

Everyone deserves to live in safety, dignity and equality — without exception. We won't stop fighting until that’s true for all. 🏳️‍⚧️

We’re gearing up for Giving Tuesday because the sad truth is women’s organizations continue to receive less than 1% of funding from the global philanthropic community. It's time to close this funding gap and make bold investments in our future. www.OmahaWomensFund.org/Donate
