History of US WOMEN CONNECT, INC., 501c3
26 years ago, based on the historic Fourth World Conference on Women, in Beijing, US Women Connect was born. In 1996, it became a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its founder, Marilyn Fowler, believed a "trail of light" could be built, one woman at a time, and one American state at a time. She dedicated her life to listening to every corner of the country, including migrant farm workers, women from different cultures, and women of varying ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Diversity was her hallmark. Along with other co-leaders, this diversity was organized and blended into one cohesive voice: for powerful change. Together, these ideas formed the US Women's Agenda, and were brought directly to policymakers, legislators, and the US Congress. Additionally, she accredited the organization with the United Nations for Women, spearheaded the US Women's Caucus at the United Nations, and founded the Women's Intercultural Network. This legacy of partnership -- including core guidance from Native American leaders -- is at the heart of US Women Connect initiatives. We are bolstered in strength and protection via the Thunderbird spirit, and stand resolute in safety and empowerment -- not only for US women and girls, but for men, boys, diverse gender expressions, and all people living in America.
Help us lobby for Emily's Law to protect women and children from violence
Your contribution will enable us to fund new monitoring technology in Restraining Order cases; partner with the United Nations for Women to form anti-violence coalitions, and stop human trafficking. Emily's Law is dedicated to the life and legacy of Emily Mohler, her 2 yr old daughter Piper, and dear friend Cody Nevins, a Montana Native American artist. All three were murdered in a domestic violence case, despite several judge-ordered Restraining Orders. [photo --to left -- Emily Mohler: a brave, talented Montana mother and professional artist.
