SISTERS IN THE NAME OF LOVE
A group of like-minded women come together each year to plan the 1 Billion Rising Event. Some of the women are staff members from nonprofit organizations, others are volunteers of Ashé. They answered the call to action and said they were willing to RISE! RESIST! UNITE! They continue to be the force behind this event.
