Our Goal:
Vulnerability
Federal funding cuts have decimated frontline organizations that provide life-saving services to survivors of gender-based violence. We’re raising $35,000 to fill that urgent gap.
100% of your donation goes directly to our partner organizations—Sakhi for South Asian Women and YWCA of Chicago—to keep their doors open, crisis lines running, and shelters safe, and to What is the Power of We—to center survivor storytelling at a time when survivors are being silenced.
Your donation today can be the difference
between a survivor getting the help they need—
or being left without options.
These stories, like Priya’s, Elena’s, and Lucy’s, will travel with us to Mount Vinson, the highest peak in Antarctica, which we will climb in December 2025. We climb to make visible the survivors who might feel invisible. We climb to carry our stories, and theirs, to the highest places on Earth—and to make sure they are never silenced again.
You can sponsor our Mount Vinson climb so we can amplify the voices of Priya, Elena, and Lucy.
Vulnerability is not weakness. It is how we begin.
Beginning is the hardest part. It's the part that requires a willingness to be seen and known—fully, by ourselves and by others. In law and policy, “vulnerable” is often a label placed on others. But we reject passivity. We reclaim vulnerability as an act of courage. It is work we do for ourselves.
We are leading the way. Showing up, speaking out, and telling our stories.
