Women's Resource Rally

Akard Plaza
August 30th, 5-7PM

Join us in solidarity with the women and other gender/sex diverse individuals of North Texas. We invite you to take part in discussing the issues that affect these demographics, share your art and stories, and learn about important resources available in DFW.  At the conclusion of our speakers, we invite you to march with us and let our voices be heard from the street!

Following this event, we invite you to stop in and join El Movemiento for

“More Than Sisterhood: A Feminist Revolution for All”

An Ideas on Tap Event

8-10PM at Four Corners Brewery

We look forward to sharing this day with you!

PLEASE NOTE: We will not tolerate hatred toward queer, trans, intersex, or gender non-conforming individuals. If you cannot reliably keep those intentions out of our space, you will be removed.

Community Art Display

We are asking attendees to bring a piece of artwork to be displayed in a mini gallery for the duration of the event! Poems, paintings, and any other art on paper or canvas are all welcome to be displayed. We will have peg boards, hooks, metal grids, and folding tables available for art display. 

If you would like to bring your art to include in our display at the event, please email YRR event leadership at YRR.Outreach@gmail.com with pictures of the pieces you are planning to bring! If you have any unique display needs, we will help you determine whether your work can be displayed with our hardware.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee against the loss or damage of provided artwork.  We recommend bringing a copy of the original piece of art for display. 

Women's Voices Series

We are putting together a video series to allow women and other sex and gender diverse individuals to share their personal experiences.

We invite you to submit either a paragraph or a 10-20 second video describing a personal journey you would like to share. Please include a picture of yourself doing the Rosie the Riveter pose. A yellow rose will be included over your face for anyone uncomfortable sharing their face on social media.

If you would like to submit your story, please email YRR event leadership at YRR.Outreach@gmail.com with your story materials.

Wishing Tree

We will be setting up a wishing tree display for people to attach papers or ribbons outlining their wishes for the future. This tree will be making an appearance at future events as a representation of our collective hope.
